Singapore Airlines has grounded a second Airbus A380 super-jumbo because of a fuel pump problem. The airline said the move delayed passengers headed for Sydney on Monday who had to switch to smaller planes.
The airline said the A380 in question was now back in service. A similar fuel pump problem grounded another of the airline’s A380s in February.
“The problem is similar to the problem which affected another aircraft a month or so back, but it is important to mention, it is not the same problem, and not the same aircraft,” said Singapore Airlines spokesman Stephen Forshaw.
“The problem last time was identified to be with the electrical relay powering the pump, rather than the pump itself,” he said.
