Cathay Pacific inspected 48 A350s after engine part failure

Engine maker Rolls-Royce has not issued inspection directive to airlines-source

Other A350 operators are flying normally-FlightRadar24 data

Sept 3 (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airways said on Tuesday it had inspected its entire Airbus A350 fleet after the in-flight failure of an engine part and found 15 aircraft with components that needed replacement.

Cathay Pacific said three of the 48 Rolls-Royce-powered planes it had inspected had already gone through successful repairs and all of the jets were expected to resume operation by Saturday. It cancelled at least 34 round-trip flights due to the disruption to its fleet.

Other airlines said they had not yet been issued instructions to examine similar engines after a part failed on one of Cathay Pacific’s A350-1000 widebody planes minutes after take-off from Hong Kong on Monday.
Data from flight tracking service FlightRadar24 showed other major operators of the A350-1000 and the smaller, more popular A350-900, appeared to be flying their aircraft normally on Tuesday.
