Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

[mrflyby]

Note that OQC has finally been reactivated on Flightradar. So it's safe to say that work has started on it.

Most of them have seats that are no longer certified, following the scandalous falsifications Japanese company Koito Industries made for their product.

QF have a couple of sets of seats in Victorville

QF63 has been delayed departing from SYD for 3 hours and counting.

Will no doubt delay the Sunday QF64, and could impact Monday's QF11 given that the aircraft from Johannesburg typically goes on to LAX afterwards....

Bet QF would love to have its operational spare at the ready and not damaged so soon in LA.

AFF has a thread 'Qantas Delays/Cancellations' contributed to by quite a few members.

So far, as at 1229 AEDT, no sign of QF63 appearing 'live' on FR24. Mostly, this is not a good sign (although occasionally buildings apparently get in the way of transmitted signals).

The damaged but being repaired A388 VH-OQC still hasn't departed LAX.

I guess scrapping VH-OQE and VH-OQF is coming back to bite them? I understood those 2 were of the later production models and were lighter aircraft. I just flew EK A380s to and from Europe and the experience was chalk and cheese compared to QF’s A380s.
