ANA Holdings Inc. plans to claim compensation from engine-maker Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc following its cancellation of more than a dozen flights last month after finding broken turbines on three 787 aircraft, according to two people familiar with the plan. The form of compensation hasn’t been decided yet but it may be for discounts on future purchases or free parts, rather than in cash, one of the people said, asking not to be identified before a final decision is made. The airline canceled 18 flights last month, with costs for the first nine cancellations estimated to be 55m yen ($532,000), the company said at the time. The people didn’t disclose the value of their claims. ANA, the world’s biggest operator of 787 planes, is changing the turbine blades on all the Rolls-Royce engines in its fleet of 50 Dreamliner planes after parts broke off on two international flights and one domestic flight. The issue is ANA’s biggest with the model since a 2013 global grounding of the entire Dreamliner fleet, which led the carrier to cancel flights for more than four months.<br/>

The TSA’s Precheck program has been steadily expanding throughout the US over the last few years, adding new members and airports every day. Now, with a new partnership with Lufthansa, the program is officially making inroads into the EU. TSA Precheck (sometimes called TSA Pre✓) was started in 2011 as a program to expedite airport security for passengers willing to submit to a one-time enhanced screening and small fee. Since inception, the program has swelled to over 3m members, equally propelled by passenger frustration with the status quo and aggressive marketing and expansion by the agency. For the first several years, the program has been focused on passengers flying on US carriers departing from domestic airports, though earlier this year, a host of international carriers including Air Canada and Aeromexico adopted the program for passengers departing from the US. Lufthansa will be the first EU-based carrier to do the same.<br/>
