这次是飞往伦敦的QF1，还未上跑道就发现引擎故障，航班取消。

Another Qantas plane has been grounded with engine failure, not long after the first of the airline's fleet of A380s returned to the skies following an engine explosion.
News Limited is reporting QF1 to London via Bangkok was due to leave Sydney yesterday evening, but passengers were forced to disembark after hearing a loud noise from the engine while they were taxiing towards the runway.
"The aircraft was taxiing to the runway and the pilot had an indication of an issue with one of the engines, and following procedures it returned to the bay," a Qantas spokesman said.
The passengers disembarked while engineers assessed the problem, but were later told the flight was cancelled. They spent the night in hotels and the flight is expected to leave this morning.
Yesterday, in a bid to prove the safety of Qantas A380s, CEO Alan Joyce joined flight QF31 to Singapore, which left Sydney at 5:30pm AEDT with a full load of 453 passengers.
The airline has confirmed that flight landed safely and will now head to London.
The fleet of six has been out of service since QF32 from Singapore to Sydney suffered an explosion in one of its four engines over the Indonesian island of Batam.
Qantas now says 16 Rolls-Royce engines are being replaced on its A380s.
Only two of Qantas's A380s will initially return to service, with the airline taking delivery of two new superjumbos before the year's end and another two in early 2011.
Mr Joyce says Qantas is working closely with Rolls-Royce to get the rest of its planes back in the air.
"We're at the moment sourcing additional engines to re-engine those engines that are problematic on those aircraft, that may take a number of weeks," he said.
"We are hopeful that in a few weeks we can get the entire fleet back up in the air."
The airline grounded its A380s three weeks ago when an engine on one of its planes exploded shortly after leaving Singapore.
The planes remain barred from trans-Pacific flights to Los Angeles because of the extra engine thrust required. |
