Qantas proceeds with investigation on its BKK flight

Qantas said on Friday that the highly unusual incident involving loss of electrical power on a B747-400 in Bangkok this week was still under close investigation.

Qantas Executive General Manager John Borghetti said in a statement released today that the airline was working with Boeing and the ATSB to determine the root cause of the incident, but that it was too early to provide detailed analysis.

"As always, safety is our prime concern. We will be monitoring every development closely and the ATSB's findings will be made public once its investigation is complete," Borghetti said.

He said that speculation by a wide range of people, including individual engineers, pilots, commentators and union officials, was inevitable but unhelpful.
