“Hmmm... there have never problems reported before with the engines.”
Well, we should keep in mind that there are as yet actually only a small number of A380 in service. So, this plane should be thought of as still in beta test. Personally, I have no desire to fly on this plane for a few years. If one of these planes, god forbid, should ever go down it’s going to make one heck of a mess.
I doubt it.The plane has been in service four years with no major incidents reported until now.
I’m not surprised there has been a problem discovered with the engines. The manufacturer will determine the cause and there will be an appropriate fix.
This is a safe aircraft, this publicized incident notwithstanding.
