Are planes like cars ....once a lemon always a lemon?


like once broken always sort of broken

Yes.
Rolls Royce are English.
They should have brought USA GE engines.
A friend of mine was an AIR captain.Flew the Frankfurt route.Could get to sleep with GE engines,but not with Rolls Royce.
So still lemons.

Apparently the GE engines have just as many problems..
Interested to see what replacement aircraft AIR can secure and how quickly...
The fact they are looking for replacements would suggest this will take a fair while to sort out

My speculative guess is Rolls Royce will be picking up the tab for the cost of leasing replacement aircraft as this is a known fault with early Trent 1000 engines
https://www.theguardian.com/business...t-entire-fleet Won't surprise me if AIR replace the fan blades on all their early model engines as two engine out events for a small airline running about 12 of these early model engines is a fairly significant statistical event.
Agree with you that GE engines for the Dreamliner have also been plagued with problems.
One wonders if they aren't trying to push fuel efficiency too far with these tech engines ?

Yep the new engines certainly seem to be the main cause of problems with modern aircraft. The Airbus NEO aircraft have been delayed significantly due to issues with their new geared turbofan engines.

Well damn, buckle your seatbelts folks we might be in for a ride. Depending on the wording on the announcement, there isn't a clear indication on how many flights will be cancelled..

The self loading freight on Cullen Airlines 787’s which dip down into the Southern Ocean on their way to Bueneous Aires will be listening nervously for a change in engine noise and scouting for possible icebergs to land on.

Boop boop de do

They won't pay for reputational damage.
Some of the flights are delayed a long time affecting a lot of downstream travel plans.
Cancelling the flights is worse.

Yeah this is the real cost. With this issue effecting this aircraft type around the world it doesn't take long for the travelling public to get anxious about flying this aircraft..
If the 787 were to lose it's 350 minute(?) EDTO rating this could restrict some AIR flights inparticular EZE meaning 777's would have to take over those service's

Exact wording is here https://www.nzx.com/announcements/311575
No need to get too excited. This announcement was released at 1.44 p.m. and the market took it in its stride. Shares were actually one of the top performers on the day.

**** happens from time to time. They're doing all they can including trying to source replacement aircraft.
