Cailian News September 5 After Boeing's quality problems, Airbus ushered in explosive order growth, but the aviation industry is now painfully discovering that the quality of Airbus may not be so reliable.

On Monday, a Cathay Pacific plane was forced to return due to component failure. After dealing with the problem of the flight, Cathay Pacific inspected all its Airbus A350 aircraft of the same type, and found that 15 of the 48 aircraft had engine parts failure.

Up to now, Cathay Pacific has cancelled nearly 70 flights, and said that as the repair work continues, the flights will be interrupted until this weekend or even longer.

After Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines and Singapore Airlines also said that they would inspect their A350 aircraft. It is reported that more airlines are seeking statements from Airbus and engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce, and two people familiar with the matter revealed that this forced Airbus and Rolls-Royce to publicly clarify the situation.

According to sources, the briefing of Airbus may be held as early as Thursday.

On Monday, Cathay Pacific flight CX383 had a fuel leak about 75 minutes after takeoff and had to fly back to Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific pointed out that this is the first A350 aircraft with this kind of fault in the world. According to the media, the fault is related to the deformation and degradation of the oil pipeline.

According to informed sources, there is no evidence to prove that there is a general problem with the A350 aircraft, but this possibility cannot be ruled out, which may require more airlines to join the investigation to make a final conclusion.

However, aircraft manufacturers have not recommended a global investigation, claiming that it will affect efficiency and lead to grounding losses. However, this final decision is actually in the hands of regulators.

European aviation safety agency, the regulator where Airbus is located, is still waiting to see the development, saying that it is still evaluating and it is not convenient to make further comments. The Federal Aviation Administration said it would keep in touch with european aviation safety agency and respond according to the findings and actions in Europe. The Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong indicated that it would closely monitor the engine failure of Cathay Pacific A350.

It is not known whether this engine problem of Airbus will cause big trouble in the aviation industry. Before the world can't see Boeing's reliable and stable aircraft supply, Airbus has almost become the only supplier that can be relied on. If Airbus is exposed to quality problems, it will be a huge blow to the entire aviation industry.

According to the industry, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Japan Airlines are the main airlines operating A350 aircraft. There are 612 A350 aircraft in service worldwide, and as many as 88 aircraft have found engine failure.
