Lufthansa keeps A380s flying after engine checks

Germany's Lufthansa airline said Monday that it would continue to fying its three Airbus A380 jets, following checks on the engines according to recommendations by manufacturer Rolls- Royce, DPA reported.

A spokesman in Frankfurt said nothing untoward was found in the checks. Lufthansa is set to begin commercial operations by a fourth superjumbo on November 19. It has ordered 15 of the planes in all.

Singapore Airlines says it too will continue to fly the A380.

Both responded just a few hours after Australia's Qantas Airways said it found oil leaks on three Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines and would keep its fleet of six A380s grounded. The jets are the world's largest passenger planes.
