Not looking great....

"Qantas A380s not likely to take off again soon"

QANTAS has found issues with three more Rolls-Royce jet engines on its grounded Airbus A380 fleet, dashing the likelihood of their early return to the skies.

Two engines - on aircraft in Sydney and Los Angeles - have been taken off for closer inspection as a result of the eight-hour tests Rolls-Royce recommended.

It now seems increasingly unlikely that the grounding of the fleet will be limited to the 48 hours outlined by the chief executive, Alan Joyce, on Friday.

Anoyingly, I'm booked to be on one next week
