QANTAS A.380

This check is a large one. It is planned take around 100 days. This is just the planned time. If they find anything from the inspections it may well take longer. QF are the first to undertake this scheduled check. Singapore airlines chose to park theirs instead of completing the check.

100 days would take the scheduled check up to 22 August, 2019 to fly home the next day.

I see more LAX trouble for OQA. This time stuck there with nosewheel issues.

Flightaware is showing OQB as having a nine minute flight out of Abu Dhabi yesterday but there was no movement of the aircraft recorded on the map so I presume that they just powered up the transponder for a few minutes from the hanger.

It looks as though her return to service would be welcome though with OQA out of service again.

Qantas Source is saying OQD is also stuck at LAX with nose wheel issues! So two A380's with nose wheel issues at the same time. What is going on over there? Also reported on the news that there are 400 people that have been stranded at LAX for several days.
