The Qantas Airways Ltd. A380 that suffered a mid-air engine explosion about 18 months ago will return to the skies tomorrow after repairs costing A$139 million ($144 million).
The Nancy-Bird Walton will fly back to Sydney from Singapore following the work, which was covered by insurance, said Thomas Woodward, a Qantas spokesman. The Airbus SAS plane made an emergency landing in the city-state in November 2010 after one of its four Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc engines exploded over Indonesia.
