Qantas press release 5/11:
About Qantas - Media Room - Media Releases
“The A380 involved in the Singapore incident recently underwent its first heavy maintenance check by Lufthansa Technik in Germany. Lufthansa is a leading international airline, a top tier engineering and maintenance provider and an operator of the A380 itself.
Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines are overhauled at Rolls-Royce facilities. "
“To suggest that Lufthansa and Rolls-Royce do not have the expertise and experience to undertake the highest quality aircraft and checks is ludicrous. "
