Thanks for the information, Rowan. Is it usual that QANTAS would have two of their twelve A380s in scheduled maintenance concurrently in different locations - AUH and DRS, with AUH having the more major work done? I thought that any work in DRS was for the cabin refurbishment.

Separately, OQA is still in LAX after 4 days with its technical issue. Overnight, LA time, QF12 (OQK) had an 11 hour delay leaving LAX and is due to arrive in SYD this afternoon around 17:00. The night before QF94 (OQF) had a 12 hour delay leaving LAX and is now on its way back there arriving in two hours. Hopefully, the Friday night A380 departures from LAX will be on time.

I read somewhere that OQA had been hit by a catering truck and has damage that needs replacement parts, has anyone else heard this?

It's been 9 days since OQA has flown and it's still sitting at LAX. Whatever happened must of caused a decent amount of damage? Interesting that there isn't anything on qantassource about it or pretty much where for that matter!

OQA is back in service operating QF94 from LAX on Saturday night. It is flying back to LAX as QF93 this morning and not onto SIN. It is running a bit behind schedule and is yet to depart.

OQK has finally arrived in Dresden for cabin refurbishment, ferrying in from LHR. It swapped with OQG on 16/7.

Does anyone know what is the problem with OQB which has been in AUH since 15 May??
