QANTAS has suspended all of its A380 aircraft services after one of its jets made a dramatic emergency landing in Singapore, the carrier's chief executive Alan Joyce has announced.
"We have decided that we will suspend all A380 takeoffs until we are fully comfortable that sufficient information has been obtained about QF32," he said this afternoon.

"We will suspend those A380 services until we are completely confident that Qantas safety requirements have been met."

A Qantas A380 was forced to shut down one of its engines and make an emergency landing at Singapore's Changi Airport.
QF32, carrying 433 passengers and 26 crew, was bound for Sydney when the engine failed.

The plane then dumped its fuel over Indonesia's Batam Island, opposite Singapore, before landing in Singapore.
