Rolls-Royce identify cause of plane engine failure

Manufacturing giant Rolls-Royce today said it had identified the faulty part behind an engine failure which forced an A380 superjumbo into an emergency landing and was making efforts to fix the problem.

But the UK-based company, which is rolling out a programme of inspections across all A380s, admitted the cost of the response would lead to “slightly lower” profit growth, compared with previous forecasts of 4% to 5%.
