Europe’s air safety regulator ordered inspections on engines of a flagship Airbus jet on Thursday, after a fire broke out during a Cathay Pacific flight. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said it was acting to prevent similar events after consulting regulators and accident investigators in Hong Kong, where Cathay is based, as well as Airbus and engine supplier Rolls-Royce. “This action is a precautionary measure, based on the information received from the initial investigation of the recent Cathay Pacific serious incident and on the airline’s findings in its own subsequent inspections,” EASA Executive Director Florian Guillermet said in a statement. EASA also confirmed that the failure of a hose in the fuel system had caused a fire that was quickly tackled by crew. A “serious incident” is an investigative term in aviation that means there was a high probability of an accident. “We will continue to follow closely all information that will be made available through the ongoing safety investigation,” Guillermet said.
