Airbus A350-1041 B-LXD Cathay Pacific Airways at Amsterdam Schiphol AirportPosted By: Rob VogelaarSeptember 2, 2024Sept 2 (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airways said on Monday it had started a fleet-wide inspection of its Airbus A350 aircraft after identifying an engine component failure, sending shares in British engine maker Rolls-Royce down sharply.The carrier said it had cancelled 24 return flights operating until the end of Tuesday, and that a number of aircraft would be out of service for several days while the process, which it described as precautionary, was completed.An Airbus spokesperson referred questions to the airline and to engine maker Rolls-Royce, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Shares in the British company – the sole engine provider for the long-haul A350 jetliner –在泰耶（Cathay）报告发动机组件故障之后，下跌多达8.8％。在周一早些时候飞往苏黎世的航班上，被迫返回香港的飞机中发现了故障。国泰航空没有详细描述该组件，但表示这是全球任何A350飞机上遭受这种失败的类型。“到目前为止，我们已经确定了许多相同的发动机组件需要更换。备件已被确保并正在进行维修工作。这些由XWB-97供电，这是Rolls最大的喷气发动机。涉及的飞机是在2019年1月交付的。专家说，航空公司和发动机制造商偶尔会交换发动机以适应维护时间表。该航空公司表示，它正在与香港民航局和Jet and Engine Manufactures进行协调。PhotoRob Vogelaar这样：就像加载：相关...相关...相关
