Qantas A380s to return to US route, Airbus misses delivery target
QANTAS is expected to announce as early as next week the resumption of its A380 superjumbo flights on its key international route between Australia and the US.
The connection between the QF32 failure and high takeoff thrust on certain runways remains very mysterious if indeed there is any connection at all. Has all this delay been just about putting minds at rest and installing mod C engines? Anyway, very glad to see that things are getting back to normal.

I know that some people get a bit excited by near disasters but rememeber that "nearly" never hurt anyone. And you probably can learn as much from near disasters as from the real thing.

A good new year to Airbus, Rolls Royce, Qantas and All and sundry.
