Well this is a rumour network, so here goes.
Flew into YYZ from FRA yesterday on LH. Talking to some of the AC staff in YYZ, it seems that LH operated the same flight, A340-600, a day earlier albeit at a later departure time. During the turn round inspection "ash damage" was found in the engines. Aeroplane towed to maintenance area.
Any one able to confirm / deny this.
I must admit that I was alittle suprised at out routing yesterday, FRA- London - South Wales, to 55N for the crossing, I was expecting to be further South.
We were told that the highest reported ash had been FL350, so we went at FL360!!
