After Cathay Pacific was forced to inspect all 48 of its Airbus A350s, the airline has confirmed that engineers identified 15 aircraft that needed repairs.  

On September 2, 2024, Cathay Pacific initiated a fleet-wide inspection of all 30 Airbus A350-900s and 18 A350-1000s after the airline identified an engine component failure on an aircraft destined for Zurich.  

The A350 (flight CX383) that triggered mass inspections left Hong Kong on September 2, 2024, for a 12-hour flight to Europe, but after only 75 minutes flight time the aircraft returned to its departure airport.
