It has been a very lucky day for all the passengers boarding on Qantas Airways’ airbus SAS A380. The flight took off after a short break from Singapore airport and made its way to Sidney but the plane made an emergency landing just after 15 minutes of taking off because of the failure of its engine.

It has been reported that passengers got panicked when they heard the loud bang of explosion in engine and saw rising smokes and sparks from the engine. The report further says that pilot informed that the engine had failed and they were going land back the plane at Changi Airport.

The airbus was carrying 433 passengers along with 26 onboard staffs and the airbus was landed safely around 11:45 am local time. No casualties were reported and all passengers were safely escorted to terminal.

Talking the incident seriously Qantas promptly grounded all its six A380 aircrafts flown by Air France, Emirates, Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa.

In a press conference speaking to the media persons Alan Joyce, the chief executive of Australia’s national carrier said that a probe had been ordered into the matter. He further said that they had decided that they would suspend all A380 take offs until they were entirely comfortable and confident regarding safety.

The aircraft A380 was debuted in 2005 and the debut was considered as a beginning of new era in the jetliners world. Each A380 is double-decker and can carry up to 500 passengers.
