With Singapore and Lufthansa both admitting problems with the engines (Singapore has grounded three of it's A380's) it will be interesting to see how quick RR will be in fixing the problem. RR could find itself not just losing sales of A380 engines, but 787 (slightly different model engine, but seems to have some of the same issues) and other Trent engine sales.
As many of the aircraft can swap engine types with little issue on newer models (training and maintenance would still have to be addressed), RR could loose massive amounts of market share if they don't fix the problem and make some form of peace deal with the affected airlines.....
