A cleaning process leading to fuel hose degradation during refurbishment could have caused a recent engine fire on a Cathay Pacific Airbus A350, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said Thursday.
EASA said it had widened in an airworthiness directive the number of engine variants potentially affected by the apparent defect, which include Rolls-Royce engines powering both A350-900s and A350-1000s. Cathay briefly grounded its fleet of A350s for inspections and repairs after a Zurich-bound plane was forced to turn around and head back to Hong Kong on September 2.
