The directive applies to all airlines operating aircraft with the specified engine model.

Cathay Pacific Airways has complied with an emergency airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) after an A350 aircraft engine component failure on a Zurich-bound flight on 2 September.

The directive, which applies to all airlines operating A350 aircraft with the specified engine model, required inspections following the incident.

The Civil Aviation Department confirmed that Cathay had already taken precautionary measures and met the directive's requirements.
