Podcasts about qantas a380

Is Qantas Airlines safe? Two recent events have led the Australian media and others to raise that question.The first safety issue was in November 2024. A tool was left in the engine of a Qantas A380 for nearly a month before it was discovered. A few days later, a Qantas 737 had an engine failure while taking off from Sydney. The Australian media covered these events extensively, raising concerns about Qantas' safety. The Flight Safety Detectives look at whether these events establish a pattern of concern. One factor here is that the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) investigates events that would likely not generate a detailed report if they happened on an aircraft registered in the U.S. or elsewhere.John Goglia and Todd Curtis also discuss a 2020 fuel dumping event over Los Angeles that resulted in many school children being exposed to fuel. The FAA issued a report that stated that fuel dumping is relatively rare in the U.S., averaging about 15 events per year from 2015 to 2020. Hear how and why these events occur.

This week, Qantas announced it would stand down 2,500 employees, just one day after the government revealed its plan to provide additional financial support to the airline industry. In this episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, host Adam Thorn and reporter Hannah Dowling discuss the conveniently-timed move, and speculate as rival Virgin bides its time. Plus, the team reveals the details of that booze-fuelled Japan Airlines flight that saw some Australian Olympians end up in hot water with the international media. Finally, the crew talks of one lucky frequent flyer that spent 2 million points on two used Qantas A380 seats.

"Mistakes happen. How you respond to them is key.” I'm joined by Captain Richard de Crespigny, most famous for piloting QF32, a Qantas A380 which experienced an explosion mid-air in 2010, to land safely for all passengers and crew on board. We previously spoke on the podcast several years ago, and since then Richard has released his second book, 'FLY!'. We talk about the QF32 incident and how he navigated through that disaster, and also how he applies neuroscience training to help build resilience. It's a fascinating conversation about training your brain to perform better under pressure, and something everyone - not just business owners - will benefit from listening to.  Join the Facebook Group.

Today represents a significant milestone in aviation in Australia and particularly for Qantas. It was 10-years ago that Qantas took off on its maiden flight from Toulouse in France to Australia in it’s very first Airbus A380. After an 8-year wait, the aircraft represented a monumental milestone in the history of Qantas and also for Aviation in Australia. Airbus first conceived the aircraft back in 1991 and Qantas placed its order in 2001. And on the 19th of September 2008 the first A380 was handed over to Qantas and it began its journey back to Australia the following day to arrive on the 21st of September 2008. Today I’m joined on the podcast by Gerard Frawley and Jordan Chong both from Australian Aviation. Listen in as Gerard and Jordan reflect on that first flight, how the aircraft forever changed the aviation landscape and how it set a new benchmark for passenger comfort. The 10-year anniversary of the Qantas A380 is a reminder of just how far we have come in aviation and it also helps us to look forward to an ever more exciting future. http://australianaviation.com.au/2018/09/tbt-worth-the-wait-the-qantas-a380-era-begins/

This BBC Radio 5 interview with Dr. Todd Curtis of AirSafe.com on November 5, 2010 came in the wake of two unusual engine failure events. On November 4, 2010, a Qantas A380 had an engine failure about 15 minutes after taking off from Singapore's airport. The following day, a Qantas 747 had another failure about two minutes after taking off from the same airport. Both planes landed safely.

The Airbus A380 is the flagship aircraft of Qantas. Despite a significant budget being allocated to the design of the in-flight entertainment (IFE) system, it already appears to be outdated and in need of a refresh. Looking to current models of interaction, this presentation discusses the uxd history of the A380 IFE and examines what went wrong and why.

Barry Warwick talks about cruise ships in Asia, car leasing in Europe and the new Qantas A380.
