A GE spokesperson said the company
would issue a bulletin informing aircraft operators "in the next couple of
days" and that it would affect around 120 aircraft.
Last week the US National
Transportation Safety Board said the September 11 incident in Shanghai, in
which one GEnx-2B turbofan engine on a Boeing 747 lost power during takeoff
appeared unrelated to a previous incident in the South Carolina in the US on
July 28.
That incident, caused by a
fractured fan midshaft inside the engine, forced an inspection of all similar
engines that turned up a second GEnx engine with the same problem.
The NTSB said that was not the
problem on the engine in question in the Shanghai incident, adding that China's
aviation regulator, the CAAC, continued to investigate the problem.
