LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Rolls-Royce said on Monday a problem affecting the durability of a certain type of Trent 1000 engine had been discovered in another type and would require further inspections.
Rolls has been working to fix a problem with the compressor in the Trent 1000 package C engines that power Boeing's 787 Dreamliner jet, forcing planes to be grounded while they are fixed. Rolls said on Monday it had now found the same issue on a "small number of high life Package B engines".
It said that while this would incur some additional cost, it did not expect it to affect its free cash flow guidance for 2018.
