Premier incident moteur sur un A380 de Singapore Airlines.
Le vol SQ333 assurant la ligne Paris-Singapour a du faire demi-tour et retourner à CDG à la suite d'un problème moteur.
Cela a du être sérieux puisqu'il a fait demi-tour.

PARIS, Sept 27 (Reuters) - A Singapore Airlines A380 was forced to turn round mid-flight and head back to Paris on Sunday after one of its four engines failed, the head of the airline's French operations said.
The doubledecker A380 took off from Paris at 12.30 p.m. (1030 GMT) with 444 passengers aboard and headed for Singapore, but had to turn round after 2 hours 45 minutes because of the engine problem, airline director Jerry Seah said.
The plane landed safely back in France at 5.45 p.m. (1545 GMT) and the passengers were sent to hotels as the airline tried to lay on an alternative flight for them.
Seah told Reuters he believed it was the first time the plane had suffered such a problem since it had started operating the Singapore-Paris route earlier this year.
The giant jet, built by Airbus, is designed to continue flying with only three engines, but came back to Paris as a safety precaution.
The engines on the Singapore A380s are built by Britain's Rolls Royce Group. (Reporting by Jean Baptiste Vey, writing by Crispian Balmer; editing by Elizabeth Fullerton)
Bon, cela devait arriver. Il est clair que statistiquement parlant plus le nombre d'appareils en service est important plus la probabilité d'un incident moteur sur l'un d'eux est grand (à taux de panne constant).
- SA a 10 A380 en service et Qantas 4 appareils soit 56 moteurs RR Trent 972 sous les ailes en service à l'heure actuelle.
- Il y a environ 200 B777-300ER en service dans le monde , soit 400 moteurs GE90-115B et environ 35 B777-200LR soit 70 moteurs GE90-115B.
En conclusion, ne tirons pas de conclusion hative sur la fiabilité de ce nouveau moteur sans connaître les chiffres exacts et surtout avec une si faible population statistque (14 appareils).
