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!

"OQX is scheduled to operate today' SYD-JNB service"

"OQX due at the gate in 30 minutes"

"OQX not at the gate after 60 mins... what's the problem?"

"OQX is in Abu Dhabi and won't be able to operate the service, really sorry"

"but its in the rotation -its scheduled!"
