Victor A. 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 hmmm this looks bad, really looks bad for Airbus. <_ lucky it was detected earlier on the ground rather than in air.> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmad M 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 No big deal really, as with any new aircrafts there will be teething problems. Made the news simply because it's the A380. A fuel pump failure in the air is also a minor problem, the engine would still run with gravity feeding of the fuel to the engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azman MN 1 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 There should be refund for those who paid for the suites, no? Good question. I was actually looking at business class fares on their website and when you get to the page where you can choose the different flights, the A380 will be more expensive, and it even says on top that flights with A380 will be more expensive. Furthermore, I hear that in the future other *A FF members can book award business class seats on A380 and 77W for some additional miles (on top of the normal miles for the other types of aircraft). And with the recent issues with both types, I wonder if you get a refund, or will SQ put it down to operational issues which cannot be guaranteed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
