    A380 super-jumbo bound for Sydney delayed by fuel line problem

    11 hours ago

    SINGAPORE (AFP) — A Singapore Airlines (SIA) A380 super jumbo bound for Sydney was delayed for more than an hour on Saturday due to a "fuel line" problem, the carrier said.

    The glitch was the third time in two months when an A380, the world's biggest passenger airliner, was delayed due to a fuel issue.

    "Tonight's flight to Sydney, SQ221, will incur a delay of about one hour while some rectification work is done on a fuel line that carries fuel between the respective tanks," SIA spokesman Stephen Forshaw said in a statement to AFP before the plane took off.

    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
