November 04, 2010 (KATAKAMI / THE JAKARTA POST) --- Qantas CEO Alan Joyce says the airline is suspending all flights of its six Airbus A380 jetliners after a mid-air engine problem on a flight from Singapore.
Joyce told a news conference in Sydney on Thursday the suspension would remain in place until Qantas was satisfied that it was safe for its A380s to fly.
Joyce said "we will suspend those A380 services until we are completely confident that Qantas safety requirements have been met."
