* On 4 November 2010, [[Qantas Flight 32]], en route from [[Singapore Changi Airport]] to [[Sydney Airport]], suffered an uncontained engine failure, resulting in a series of related problems, and forcing the flight to make an [[emergency landing]]. The plane safely returned to Singapore. There were no injuries to the passengers, the crew, or people on the ground despite debris falling onto the Indonesian island of [[Batam]].<ref name="abc3057573 updated">{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/11/04/3057573.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101109024957/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/11/04/3057573.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=9 November 2010 |title=Indonesians collect debris from Qantas plane engine |publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |date=4 November 2010 |access-date=3 April 2011}}</ref> The damage to the aircraft was sufficient for the event to be classified as an accident.<ref>[https://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2010/AAIR/AO-2010-089.aspx "Inflight engine failure – Qantas, Airbus A380, VH-OQA, overhead Batam Island, Indonesia, 4 November 2010"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161106144826/https://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2010/AAIR/AO-2010-089.aspx |date=6 November 2016}}.

A380s powered by the [[Rolls-Royce Trent 900]] engines were affected, while those powered by the [[Engine Alliance]] GP7000 were not.
