Grounded Dreamliners stagger THAI
THAI had to ground its fleet of Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner jets for a few weeks due to troubles with jet engines made by Rolls-Royce. Four of the 6 aircraft remain on the tarmac at Suvarnabhumi airport while 2 of them are back in service after issues related to turbine blades in the Trent-1000 engine, which THAI says may affect flight safety. The grounding began several weeks ago, and have impacted THAI flights normally served by the mid-sized long-haul aircraft such as those routes to Western Australia, Dubai, parts of Japan and neighbouring countries, industry sources said Wednesday. THAI acting president Usanee Sangsingkeo said the situation with the Rolls-Royce engines at the carrier should improve starting next month and return to normal operations in September. <br/>
