SEOUL, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines said on
Tuesday it is inspecting the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-84 engines in
its fleet of A350-900 planes as a precaution after Hong Kong's
Cathay Pacific Airways ( CPCAF ) identified an engine component failure in
one of its flights.
There is currently no impact on Singapore flights operating
with the A350-900.
Cathay Pacific 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.
A person familiar with the matter told Reuters the incident
involved a problem with a fuel nozzle inside a XWB-97 engine,
the Rolls-Royce model used on the A350-1000.
