According to TBS, ANA will be changing all 50 of their RR Trent engines for the 787, and flight cancellations have started from today. The fan blades develop cracks under a build-up of dirt. This news is being suppressed as we speak, apparently. (JAL has GE engines, so they are not affected, the news source says.)

The content of the main report on TBS (in Japanese) has now disappeared but the earlier one about the series of engine failures with ANA and the need for replacement parts is here: ??? ???????????????????????????News i - TBS??????????
