Originally posted by sbs2716g View PostSeem like SQ have been able to get the replacement engine fast. But for Scoot, 2x787 have been out for 5 months.
Apparently RR is slowly clearing the backlog for the issues for the Package C engines - Air NZ for example have one remaining 787-9 grounded, and according to them that aircraft should be back flying by end Oct 2019, so hopefully Scott's planes will get their engines back sometime "soon"...Last edited by wlgspotter; 11 September 2019, 12:31 PM.

Originally posted by wlgspotter View PostI might be wrong here, but I think the engines used on (some of) Scott's 787 and the ones for SQ's 787-10 are slightly different. AFAIK at least some of Scott's 787 uses the Trent 1000 Package C engines which is most affected by the RR Trent engine issues, whereas SQ's 787-10 are most likely from the newer Trent 1000 TEN engines.
