Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

Flight delayed?

Flight was delayed from LHR in the first place.

OQD 15A seat has an inoperative sticker on it.


Edit: Yes not responding to inputs. Apparently an engineer had come onboard at SIN and fixed it... But clearly not.

Offered 75% refund and travel voucher for it by SIN ground staff. Will see how they progress.

Just an update: Upgrade points fully refunded also a $400 travel voucher. Now to get my SC from the flight since it didn't automatically go through.

You seem to have done fairly well so far!

This was mentioned in a QF press release today about A380 flights to JNB.

Qantas has eight active A380s of a total fleet of 10, with the remaining two returning to service over the next 18 months.

I thought they still had 3 sitting in AUH

I imagine one of them is "active" just in "maintenance" and without a clear return timeline. I suspect OQC and OQL are the 2 "non active" ones that need major works.

Either that or Qantas IT has told them there are eight in service and someone believed them!
