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.
Rolls-Royce has not yet issued a directive to airlines regarding possible inspections, according to an industry source who was not authorised to speak publicly about the matter. "If the engine manufacturer takes any further action, we will respond accordingly," a JAL spokesperson said. Cathay Pacific has not specified which engine component failed, but the carrier said it was the"first of its type to suffer such failure on any A350 aircraft worldwide".
Experts say such problems are rare but, barring a deeper flaw, generally raise fewer alarms than the failure of one of the major rotating parts such as a turbine blade.
