QF 380 Issues
4 380’s currently out of action (third of the fleet)
OQG in Dresden- reconfig
OQJ in Abu Dhabi C Check
OQF in Singapore for 3 days with No 2 Engine fail to start.
OQK now stuck in LA with VFG fault.
Doesn’t inspire much confidence for the Festive season.

So in other words two are on planned hangar inputs while two (1/6th of a fairly small fleet) are AOG. Whether the two AOG are so because of inherent problems with the A380 or possibly just lacking parts is something that needs to be considered too before drawing any conclusions.
Maybe they should have bought more of them..... hat, coat , taxi!!!
Like most of the aircraft in the Qantas fleet they are flogged, there are inadequate spares and engineers to fix them and lastly they don’t have enough ground time for rectifications.

Trying to continue to run a full schedule with 2 aircraft not available and no back up, not prudent I would have thought.
Some flights now running up to 48 hours behind schedule.
Todays cancellations. QF7 Dallas (2nd time this week) and QF1 to London now not operating.

And no 747 spare capacity since OJU left. Brilliant, give the man $24 million.

The trouble with the silo mentality: been counters meet KPI’s by cutting maintenance, spares to the bone and outsourcing everything they can.
Operations have no spare aircraft.
Marketing can’t meet market share KPI’s because too many inconvenienced passengers say “Qantas, never again”. I know I did. All it took was a defective spoiler actuator (with no spare in Melbourne) on pushback to turn me right off ever using them by choice again.
Friend last week said ”jetstar, never again/.” After her hobart - melbourne flight got cancelled, costing her an extra night in Hobart.....And she is a well connected marketing professional who will spread the message.
Neither of our “never again” decisions will show up in any KPI’s, nor will the thousands of others who do the same.
Useless airline kept in business by flying public servants around and entertaining politicians in the chairman’s lounge.
Open the skies completely, domestic and international.

SQ A380's have RR Trent 900's, same as QF
Can't imagine SQ would have a spare $25m donk just lying around that they could afford to give up either.
