Cathay Pacific’s fleet of Airbus A350 aircraft will return to service this weekend after a number were grounded due to engine issues.

Cathay Pacific said its Airbus fleet will resume operations by the weekend

The Hong Kong-based carrier was forced to cancel dozens of flights earlier this week after a fleet-wide inspection identified 15 aircraft with faulty engine components.

The inspection was instigated after a flight from Hong Kong to Zurich had to turn around owing to an “engine component failure”.

 

In a statement published on Wednesday (4 September), the airline said the fleet will resume operations by Saturday (7 September).
