Maintenance issues were found in some Rolls-Royce jet engines
A major British airline has cancelled hundreds of flights after an issue was discovered in some of its jet engines. British Airways has apologised to customers after the cancellation of a vast number of flights due to maintenance issues discovered on some of Derby's Rolls-Royce jet engines.
The number of flights to Qatar has been halved and new routes to Malaysia have been scrapped, the Mirror reports. Services to and from other routes, such as Gatwick and JFK in New York, are also suspended. With five planes of their fleet grounded, British Airways has since used Boeing 777s to pick up the slack but they too are in need of repairs every so often. A Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur route is set to be delayed and will now launch in April 2025 rather than the initial plan for November 2024, The Sun reported.
"We’ve apologised to those affected and are able to offer the vast majority a flight the same day with British Airways or one of our partner airlines. We continue to work closely with Rolls-Royce to ensure the company is aware of the impact its issues are having on our schedule and customers, and seek reassurance of a prompt and reliable solution."
