There are some errors in the report, in that it was not found by routine maintenance, unless you class troubleshooting a defect as routine. Then once the discovery with the first engine, you then check the other engine and then perform a fleet check, not routine maintenance in my book.
This all started last Wednesday afternoon and culminated in the fleet check on the other aircraft on return to WAW on Thursday.
What l cannot understand is why Boeing has not issued a world wide alert, not seen any BMOM issued, unless they informed operators direct.
I also think the article is a little out on the return to service dates, with Sunday and today l believe as the return to service dates.
Plus the following from ATWOnline.
Scandinavian low-cost carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle has confirmed reports it has summoned Boeing management representatives to Oslo later this week to address reliability issues that have dogged the carrier’s two new Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Not surprised at all with that news, l wonder how TOM & BA are doing with there aircraft.
By the way EEngr you now know what news l said would brake over the weekend, just a day or so later than l thought
