That triggered a precautionary inspection of the engines on Cathay’s entire A350 fleet of 48 jets. Rolls-Royce Holdings is the sole engine maker for the Airbus A350.
Cathay Pacific Airways may not be able to put all of its Airbus A350 aircraft back into service as quickly as hoped due a spare parts shortage, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The carrier has taken several jets out of service in recent days after an engine component failure on one of its A350 aircraft forced a flight bound for Zurich to return to Hong Kong late Monday.
