- It was at the start of September that Cathay Pacific canceled 24 roundtrip flights following an in-flight failure of an engine component.
The grounding of part of the Cathay fleet and urgent inspections undertaken by numerous airlines caused shares of the British engine-maker to fall by as much as 6%! This was due to the fact that the A350 is exclusively powered by Rolls-Royce engines.

It's a fuel hose NOT a catastrophic turbine blade issue. This is a relatively simple fix and as such, the engines are safe and working well. The real issue is where was and how was the braided pipe being chafed.

Well done to Cathay for the swift and decisive action taken in the interest of safety here.
This is exemplary behaviour.
Acted correctly and quickly to assess and diagnose and correct the problem and advising all the relevant authorities to enable assessment and oversight.
This is exactly how things should be handled ! Bravo 👏
Very well handled by all involved. Things could've gotten much worse, so timely intervention out of an abundance of caution was the correct way to go.
Nice to have simple problems for change
If A350-1000 Trent-XWB-97 has lower Time on Wing......then so do w/ the upcoming A350F
Only for sandy environment. Until now for Qatar only.
The soon to be uprated XWB-97 offers more time on the wing, (reportedly twice as long), and orders for the A350F will benefit from that.......
This shows how the proactive approach for a defect, appropriately managed, makes aviation the safest form of travel
Yea it was handled well, it could be worse such as the 787 electrical issues
What exactly happened at the time that they had the engine failure? I don't know, why do we not see issues with general electric engines or do we?
Not RR's fault, but it is on Cathay's maintenance team. Worn out / faulty fuel hose should be changed regularly and is a job their maintenance team should do.
If so, there wouldn’t be an EAD for every airline to inspect their engines as well.
Wait a minute, what happened on Malaysia Airlines A350, they also have engine issue…
Looks like Sir Tim Clark is laughing in the corner… knowing that he made the right choice not to order the A350-1000 last year.
No big deal you are exaggerating
Hopefully we'll get an investigation. This is serious.
