LUFTHANSA has replaced a Rolls-Royce engine on one of its Airbus A380 superjumbos after maintenance checks detected a problem, a spokesman said yesterday.
Thomas Jachnow declined to specify the problem, but said it was minor and not connected with the oil leaks that have grounded Qantas and Singapore Airlines superjumbos using the same type of engine.
He says the aircraft in question is back in service, and that scheduled A380 flights have not been affected by the engine change.
Jachnow said Lufthansa management had decided on the engine swap as a precaution after consultations with Rolls-Royce.
