Cathay engine fire may be linked to cleaning, European regulator says
European regulators have pinpointed a potentially flawed cleaning process during maintenance as investigators probe an engine fire that caused a Cathay Pacific Airbus jet carrying 348 people to turn back to base. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency said on Thursday it was asking airlines to check the engines of more Airbus A350 jets but downgraded its response to the Sept. 2 incident, easing pressure on engine-maker Rolls-Royce. The Airbus A350-1000 and its XWB-97 engines have been under scrutiny since the crew of a Zurich-bound flight detected an engine fire and extinguished it before dumping fuel and returning to Hong Kong, where it landed safely.
