Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 Issues Linger
Rolls-Royce warned that reaching the target of fewer than 10 AOGs is now delayed to the second quarter of 2020.

UK engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce continues to work to overcome the premature blade deterioration on Trent 1000s that power a part of the Boeing 787 fleet and on Friday warned that remedying the issues will take longer than previously estimated.
