Rolls-Royce statement Re: Qantas QF32
04-Nov-2010 Since Qantas QF32 suffered an engine failure and returned safely to Singapore Changi Airport we have been working closely with Airbus, our customers and the authorities.
In situations like these Rolls-Royce has well established processes to collect and understand information relating to the event and to determine suitable actions.
As always the safe operation of our products is our number one priority.
The Group feels that it is prudent to recommend that a number of precautionary engine checks are performed to ensure continuous safe operation of the fleet. This process is now underway and coordinated with Airbus.
We continue to work closely with our customers as the investigation moves forward. This is at a very early stage and it would be inappropriate to draw any conclusions at this time.
