Statement Re: Flight CX383


Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) notes the recent media coverage relating to Cathay Pacific flight CX383 from Hong Kong to Zurich and confirms that the aircraft was powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines.

Rolls-Royce also notes that an investigation has been launched by the relevant authorities in Hong Kong under ICAO Annex 13, which restricts Rolls-Royce from commenting on the investigation. It is committed to working closely with the airline, aircraft manufacturer and the relevant authorities to support their efforts.

In the meantime, Rolls-Royce notes the airline’s statements that it has launched a precautionary inspection of its fleet; and also that, to the extent that any components need replacing, spare parts have been secured and the replacement can be completed whilst the engine is on-wing.

As well as providing support and guidance to Cathay Pacific, Rolls-Royce will also keep other airlines that operate Trent XWB-97 engines fully informed of any relevant developments as appropriate.
