Following the engine component failure, Cathay Pacific has launched a fleet-wide inspection of its Airbus aircraft, specifically affecting the Rolls-Royce XWB-97 engines.
Shares in Rolls-Royce plummeted nearly 9 percent after Cathay identified the issue, prompting immediate cancellations of 24 return flights and grounding several aircraft.
Experts pointed out that engine makers like Rolls-Royce and airlines often exchange engines to accommodate regular maintenance schedules and ensure operational efficiency.
The identified engine component failure marks the first recorded incident of such a malfunction in the A350 aircraft, raising concerns over the dependability of Rolls-Royce.
