Rolls-Royce has said it is “working closely” with international airline Cathay Pacific after confirming that one of its engine parts failed, leading dozens of flights to be cancelled. Hong Kong-based Cathay has axed nearly 40 flights within Asia this week amid an urgent inspection of its aircraft.
An engine problem arose shortly after a plane took off on Monday, forcing it to return to Hong Kong. The company said its engineering team have “thoroughly inspected” its fleet of operational A350 aircraft within a day, and found 15 planes that need engine components replacing, with three already going through successful repairs.
Engineering giant Rolls-Royce confirmed on Tuesday that its Trent XWB-97 engines were powering the aircraft. It said an investigation had been launched by authorities in Hong Kong and the firm was “committed to working closely with the airline, aircraft manufacturer and the relevant authorities to support their efforts”.
