- Japan's ANA Holdings says it will replace all 100 Rolls-Royce (OTCPK:RYCEF, OTCPK:RYCEY) engines on its fleet of Boeing (BA -1%) 787 Dreamliner jets following three engine failures this year caused by corrosion and cracking of turbine blades.
- ANA says all 50 of its 787s will receive engines fitted with new blades, a process that could take up to three years.
- Rolls-Royce says it will swap out existing blades for new ones on ANA's planes in the short term ahead of a new blade design that will be ready by year-end.
