European safety regulators have proposed interim measures to address possible blade cracks in the intermediate pressure compressor on Rolls-Royce Trent 1000s, while the manufacturer is developing a modification.
These cracks affected blade in the intermediate pressure compressor's first- and second-stage rotors.

The inspection interval for 787s equipped with the engines will be cut to every 80 trips from 200 now, the person said, a factor that could be more disruptive to airlines than the range limitations.

Dette kan jo bli alvorlig for Norwegian. LN-LNG har allerede stått på bakken i over 1 måned mens LN-LNN og G-CKHL ble parkert i midten av siste uke.
Er det Norwegian selv som må betale for innleie av fly eller dekkes dette av motorfabrikanten/leverandør?

Som en relativt nysgjerrig fyr med en hjerne som får med seg masse detaljer en har sånn passe behov for, lurer jeg bare på(tm) I Desember måtte jeg en aldri så liten tur med buss fra LHR til LGW, at det var en nokså kaotisk dag med sne gjorde at vi kom forbi BA’s hangarer hvor jeg så 6-7 BA 787 som stod uten motorer, ikke ulikt Everett i dag. Dette er jo mye tidligere enn hva f.eks. Norwegian opplever i disse dager, er dette et problem som 787-9 har ? Eller berører dette også 787-8 ?
British Airways has applied for regulatory approval to wet-lease three Airbus A330s from Qatar Airways in order to overcome schedule disruption caused by Boeing 787 engine maintenance
