Hmmm... there have never problems reported before with the engines. This is highly unusual even on a super jumbo jet like the Airbus A380.

Keep in mind that many A380 operators have ordered it with the GP7200 engines made by GE/Pratt, rather than the Rollers.

So, quite a few A380’s are totally unaffected by the RR engine problems.

Small wonder why there is a LONG list of airlines wanting to buy the Boeing 777-300ER--reliable in service, better range than originally advertised, and the airlines really like the plentiful cargo space offered by this plane.

That's something that Airbus has to match with the A350 XWB-1000--I wish Airbus lots of luck!
