Rolls-Royce results likely harmed by A380 engine issue
The explosion of a Trent 900 engine on a Qantas A380 late last year is expected to affect Roll-Royce upcoming results announcement, with analyst estimates putting the compensation bill at GBP50 million or higher. The failure forced Qantas to ground its A380 fleet temporarily and left Airbus scrabbling to install upgraded engines, affecting its A380 deliveries last year.
