Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa May Need A380 Engine Fix

Qantas Airways Ltd., Singapore Airlines Ltd. and Deutsche Lufthansa AG may need to replace one component in each of the engines powering their Airbus SAS A380 fleets, Rolls-Royce Group Plc said.

Rolls-Royce, the world’s second-largest maker of engines, is working with customers to replace the part as inspections of its Trent 900 engines continue, the London-based company said in an e-mail today. The engine maker has identified the component that led to the blowout of a turbine on a Qantas A380 flight earlier this month and has said the incident is isolated to the Trent 900 engine, designed specifically for the A380.
