Cathay Pacific cancels flights due to inspections on fleet

ISTANBUL (AA) - Hong Kong's flag carrier Cathay Pacific on Monday confirmed the cancellation of several flights as inspections of its Airbus A350 fleet are underway, public broadcaster RTHK reported.
The airline canceled 24 round-trip flights planned for Monday and Tuesday, impacting both domestic and international services.
The decision comes in the wake of an incident last week where an A350 was forced to return to Hong Kong shortly after takeoff due to an engine malfunction.
The airline said inspections were initiated in response to the incident, adding that further evaluations revealed that several planes within the fleet needed similar inspections and possible repairs.
The airline said it is working closely with relevant authorities to resolve the issue.
