Tokyo-based Japan Airlines , which has five A350-1000s that are all less than a year old, said it had asked Rolls-Royce for more information and had not stopped A350 flights in the meantime. 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".
Airbus said in a statement it was in contact with Rolls-Royce and Cathay Pacific and offering "full technical support". Although the part failure occurred on one of its 18 A350-1000 jets, Cathay Pacific said it was also inspecting its 30 A350-900s as a "precautionary measure".
