Last week, we reported that MSN106 experienced engine problems several minutes into her first fight, and that the crew decided to end the test flight, returning to Toulouse without incident.

Airbus cleared MSN106 to return to flight testing on Monday.

Delivery of Emirates’ twenty-second A380 (MSN101) has been delayed two weeks due to an electrical fault found in the cabin lighting system.
