Cathay Pacific has cancelled dozens of flights this week after an engine issue forced a Zurich-bound flight to return to an airport in Hong Kong, according to media reports.
Cathay Pacific, based in Hong Kong, has scratched nearly 70 flights since Monday, the BBC reported.
The airline has inspected all 48 of its Airbus A350s and found 15 aircraft with faulty parts that need to be replaced, the BBC reported. The engines were made by Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce confirmed that it did make the Trent XWB-97 engines that were on the Cathay Pacific flight CX383 from Hong Kong to Zurich. The company said that it has secured spare parts that can be used in the replacement process.
Rolls-Royce added that an investigation has been launched by the relevant authorities in Hong Kong and that it will work closely with Cathay Pacific, aircraft maker Airbus and the proper authorities. It also plans to keep other airlines that use its Trent XWB-97 engines up to date.
Cathay Pacific anticipates flight disruptions lasting until at least Saturday, according to the BBC.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Two fans died on Thursday before the start of a Copa Libertadores match between the host Colo Colo and Fortaleza of Brazil near Santiago’s estadio Monumental, a local prosecutor said.
According to authorities, a group of fans attempted to force their way into the stadium and tore down one of the venue’s protective fences. The victims were reportedly trapped beneath them.
The match was later suspended in the 70th minute due to unruly fans, although it was not immediately clear if it was related to the earlier deaths.
The Eastern Flagrancy Prosecutor, Francisco Morales said that a group of fans tried to access the estadio Monumental through the Casa Alba, a building adjacent to the venue and the police tried to prevent them from entering.
“A stampede ensued, resulting in the collapse of a fence,” added Morales. “We are currently investigating whether a police vehicle was involved in the death.”
Authorities said one of the persons died at the scene and the other at a nearby medical clinic.
