Reuters: Rolls-Royce, preparing to cut thsnds of jobs, says engine problem has spread
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s Rolls-Royce (RR.L) said a costly compressor problem that had grounded Boeing planes had now been found in a different type of engine, compounding pressures on a group that is due to cut more than 4,000 jobs this week.
Britain’s best known engineering company has been hit by a problem with a compressor in the Trent 1000 package C engine that is not lasting as long as expected, grounding planes, forcing inspections and angering airline clients.
