In the quoted Times article in post 61, what do they mean by grounding?
The FTSE 100 engineer said yesterday that the incident had accelerated its planned programme of replacing turbine blades in older Trent 1000 engines for the Boeing 787. It means that dozens of the 787s, flown by the likes of Norwegian, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Air New Zealand, will be grounded in the months to come.
Do they expect more groundings in absence of replacement turbine blades, or do they mean grounding as in “downtime” to in install replacement blades which are becoming more and more available due to RR “accelerated efforts”, effectively “ungrounding” the RR 787?
