PARIS, Sept 19 (Reuters) - The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on Thursday gave an update on the inspections it ordered on Rolls-Royce-made engines used in Airbus A-350 aircrafts following a security incident, pointing to issues possibly stemming from a cleaning process.
"In-service and in-shop inspections since then have identified that a specific cleaning process available during engine refurbishment may lead to fuel manifold main fuel hose degradation", the watchdog said.
The announcement came after Hong Kong investigators confirmed they had found hole in a fuel hose after leaking fuel caught fire in one of the Rolls-Royce engines of a Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-1000 jet, forcing it to turn back to base. Nobody was injured in the Sept 2 incident.
