A replacement Airbus A380-800 registration A6-EDR, that had already been dispatched to Kuwait and arrived at about the same time as A6-EEG, continued the flight 2.5 hours after the landing in Kuwait and reached Dubai with a delay of 5 hours.
A passenger reported the crew announced the #2 right hand engine had developed some technical problem and had been shut down. With just 3 engines running the farthest they could go was Kuwait, where a replacement A380 would pick them up.
On Nov 7th 2013 the Canadian TSB reported the aircraft was enroute about 200nm eastsoutheast of St. John's when the outboard right hand engine (#4) flamed out. The crew declared PAN to carry out the oceanic contingency procedures to descend on an offset track. After reaching the lower altitude the crew cancelled PAN, negotiated a new oceanic clearance and continued to Kuwait City on the remaining 3 engines for a safe landing. Maintenance determined that two fuel pumps supplying engine #4 had failed.
