KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia Airlines said on Friday it had found a 'potential issue' with the engine of an Airbus A350-900 aircraft in its fleet but added that it had been resolved.The issue comes after the European Union Aviation Safety Agency issued an emergency directive to airlines ordering mandated inspections on A350-1000s, which are powered by XWB-97 engines made by Rolls-Royce.
Airbus on Friday said the EASA directive 'clearly limits these to the Trent XWB-97 engine and says inspections on the Trent XWB-84 are not warranted based on current available information.'Contacted by Agence France-Presse , the European regulator said there was no justification 'at this stage' for extending the inspections to the A350-900, which accounts for the vast majority of A350s in service: 530, according to Airbus figures published on Friday.
