Alarm at airline
Faulty component: jets remain on the ground
Following the discovery of a faulty component in the engine of an Airbus A350 belonging to Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific Airways, all passenger jets of this type must remain on the ground until further notice. They will undergo an inspection.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Cathay announced on Monday that an inspection of these Airbus aircraft with turbines from the British manufacturer Rolls-Royce had been initiated. This will initially lead to 24 flights being canceled until Tuesday.
In addition, some aircraft will be taken out of service for several days. This is a precautionary measure. The fault was discovered on a jet that had to turn back on a flight from Hong Kong to Zurich on Monday (see flight route below).
Apparently the first known problem worldwide
Cathay did not describe the engine component in detail. However, it was said to be the first aircraft of this type in the world to have experienced such a failure.
Rolls-Royce is the sole supplier of engines for the A350 long-haul aircraft. According to Flightradar24, the reversed aircraft is an A350-1000, the larger of two models of the twin-engine A350.
