Engine Parts Shortage Could Keep Cathay A350s Out for Longer - Bloomberg

Nov 04, 2024Nov 04, 2024

Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. may not be able to put all of its Airbus SE 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. That triggered a precautionary inspection of the engines on Cathay’s entire A350 fleet of 48 jets. Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc is the sole engine maker for the Airbus A350.
