Cathay did not describe the component in detail, but said it was the first of its kind to suffer such a failure on any A350 aircraft worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2024\/08\/cathay-pacific-orders-30-airbus-a330neo-aircraft.html\">Cathay Pacific orders 30 Airbus A330neo aircraft<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Thus far we have identified a number of the same engine components that need to be replaced. Spare parts have been secured and repair work is underway,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Flightradar24 data, the diverted aircraft is an A350-1000, the larger of two models of twin-engined A350. These are powered by the XWB-97, Rolls&#8217; largest civil jet engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft involved was delivered in January 2019, according to the same data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline reported that it was coordinating with the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department and engine manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cathay operates a mixed fleet of Boeing and Airbus aircraft and has about 100 aircraft currently on order, including freighters, narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, with rights to acquire a further 80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With information from <a
