A replacement Airbus A380-800 registration 9V-SKF reached Hong Kong with a delay of 3:45 hours.
The airline confirmed the aircraft returned due an engine control problem.
In Aug 2012 the European Aviation Safety Agency released Airworthiness Directive 2012-0145 reporting that the Trent 900 engine experienced an intermediate pressure (N2) high vibration fault associated with other fluctuating engine parameters including low pressure (N1) faults. The crew reduced the engine to idle and returned to Singapore. Initial examination showed the LP system was seized as result of an oil transfer tube assembly having fractured. The fracture was caused by the non-installation of the spherical seat between the oil transfer tube and the end cover. All RB211 Trent 970-84, 970B-84, 972-84, 972B-84, 977-84, 977B-84 and 980-84 engines, all serial numbers, have to be inspected for the correct installation of the spherical seat.
