Japan's JAL inspecting Rolls-Royce engines on its A350-1000 planes
TOKYO, Sept 4 (Reuters) -Japan Airlines (JAL) 9210.T said on Wednesday it was conducting its own inspections of engines on its Airbus AIR.PA A350-1000 planes, after Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways identified an engine part failure on one of its flights.
By Tuesday, JAL had conducted in-house special inspections of three of the engines made by Rolls-Royce RR.L and they were found to be safe, a spokesperson for the Japanese airline said.
"The remaining two aircraft are scheduled to undergo inspections today (Wednesday) as soon as they return to Haneda Airport," the spokesperson added.
Tokyo-based JAL has five A350-1000s that are all less than a year old.
Cathay Pacific 0293.HK said on Tuesday it had inspected its entire Airbus A350 fleet of 48 planes after the in-flight failure of an engine part and found 15 aircraft with components that needed replacement.
A person familiar with the matter said a leak in a fuel system appeared to have caused a brief engine fire that was quickly extinguished by the crew of a Zurich-bound Cathay Pacific A350-1000 on Monday.
