A door on a Qantas Airbus A380 was almost totally ripped off when the double-decker plane hit scaffolding while it was being rolled out of a maintenance hangar at Sydney Airport on Friday, 8 November.
This led to the cancellation of the scheduled flight QF7 from Sydney to Dallas, which was meant to leave on Saturday afternoon. The return flight, QF8 that was due to leave from Dallas on Sunday was also cancelled.
The Australian airline confirmed in a statement that the door of the A380 aircraft ‘sustained some damage inside the hangar’ during maintenance. ‘We are working to minimise impacts to our customers and we apologise for any delays,’ a spokesman said on Saturday.
According to the Brisbane Times, ‘Passengers who were on the cancelled Sydney-Dallas flights have been put on alternative services.’
