Just announced. (I have cut out all the usual media rehash of why they were grounded).

Qantas' A380 superjumbos will start returning to service on Saturday.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce says will have four back in the air by Christmas.
"We have grounded this fleet for 19 days ... to make sure we are fully comfortable before putting them back in the air," Mr Joyce said.
Mr Joyce said Qantas would have four of the A380s operating by Christmas.
The first flight will be QF31, an A380 due to fly from Sydney to London via Singapore on Saturday, November 27.
The aircraft for that service will be transported to Sydney on a ferry flight from Los Angeles.
A second aircraft is expected to leave Los Angeles for Sydney later this week.
