Components fell from a defective Rolls-Royce (RR.) Trent 1000 engine just after a Norwegian Air flight to Los Angeles took off on 10 August, plunging the aerospace engineer into a fresh crisis over its embattled engine programme. A report in The Times said that 25 cars and 12 houses were damaged after metal fragments fell from a Norwegian Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s Trent 1000 over the Roman suburb of Fiumicino just after take-off. A Norwegian Air spokesperson told the Investors Chronicle that the flight “experienced a technical issue a few minutes after take-off”. The airline is investigating the incident alongside Aeroporti di Roma and the Italian authorities. Sell.
