In a landmark of sorts, the first commercial flight of the world's largest passenger aircraft, the A380, has landed at the new Terminal 3 at Delhi's Indira Gandhi Airport.
A Qantas A380 superjumbo made a dramatic emergency landing in Singapore on November 4 after experiencing engine trouble over Indonesia, in the first mid-air emergency involving the giant Airbus plane. 459 people were onboard.
Aviation experts in Europe believe they have identified a possible cause of the safety issue shown last week - engine pieces of a Qantas flight headed to Sydney fell over Indonesia. The plane made an emergency stop in Singapore.
Singapore Airlines pulled three A380s from service after the carrier found problems with three Rolls-Royce engines on the superjumbo jets. All six Qantas A380s remain grounded.
