Singapore Airlines inspecting Rolls Royce engines in A350-900 planes

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 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.<br/>
