Cathay Pacific has inspected its fleet of Airbus A350-1000 planes and is in the process of making repairs following a weekend engine component failure.
Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong's flagship airline, has grounded most of its Airbus A350-1000 fleet and canceled dozens of flights following an in-flight failure of an engine part. The planes were inspected after a problem unfolded several minutes after take-off on flight CX383 from Hong Kong to Zurich on Monday, according to information from flight tracking service FlightRadar24 obtained by Reuters.
Roll-Royce says it is aware of the airline's inspection of its fleet, and that "to the extent that any components need replacing, spare parts have been secured and the replacement can be completed whilst the engine is on-wing." ALASKA AIRLINES BOEING FLIGHT RETURNS TO AIRPORT FOLLOWING ENGINE ISSUE Rolls-Royce is "committed to working closely with the airline, aircraft manufacturer and the relevant authorities to support their efforts," the statement said.
