Rolls-Royce Engine Issues Ground British Airways and Virgin Atlantic Flights

Supply chain delays and maintenance challenges with Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines have forced major flight cancellations for British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have canceled numerous flights due to delays in receiving parts for Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.
British Airways has suspended routes to Dallas, Bahrain, and Kuwait, while Virgin Atlantic has postponed flights to Accra and Tel Aviv.
The Trent 1000 engine issues stem from durability problems with fan blades and supply chain constraints affecting maintenance.
Rolls-Royce is investing £1 billion in a 'durability enhancement package' to improve engine performance and reduce maintenance needs.
Both airlines are working closely with Rolls-Royce to find solutions, but skepticism remains about the speed of potential improvements.
