Seat map for Juneyao Airlines 789

Only 4 toilets for 295 economy seats

Sounds like that airline doesn't give a CRAP.

Anyone knows if Air Tanzania is still using the 787 on domestic routes, haven't seen it pop up or scheduled on FR24 lately.
Any confirmed routes for it ?

Currently 50% of Thai Airways 787 fleet is grounded due to RR engines, Thai Airways is also concerned about the damage to their brand

The first 789 for Juneyao B-1115 entered service a couple of days ago

Avianca says all 787's are now back in service (powered by RR) though they are operating them with some limitations

Anyone know why BA 788 G-ZBJE has now been at LHR BA engineering for 8 months minus her engines? Others have been turned around in a matter of weeks. Last flew on 7th March 2018.

Could be just the lack of extra engines so one is being constantly sacrificed. LOT polish airlines is now down 4 787s, and one frame keeps loosing engines for others.

How many globally (not just BA) of the RR powered 787s are grounded? Thai has 5 per an earlier post, I'm just curious what fraction of the fleet is down.

Thanks in advance,

Scoot is also having to ground 787's for engine checks, they are using a single SQ 772 to cover the shortage

Thanks for the photo. So that's about $1B sitting right there at LHR, that's just one airline. This must be getting very serious financially for RR now. Is there an end in sight, and are other newer engines likely to be affected down the line?

I have worked it out that there are currently 49 RR powered 787's out of service, though do note some of the following may just be regular maintenance, I have also listed last flight by affected aircraft

RR is going to be writing checks until they go bankrupt again...good grief.

Would it not have been cheaper/quicker to up production and supply brand new engines to all affected frames?

Airlines are going to milk this for all they can for as long as they can. RR could fail over this eventually.

I imagine there are some long-lead-time items that make quickly scaling complete engine production a long-term process. I do expect Rolls and the supplier(s) of the affected components have increased production as quickly as they can to get "known good" parts into the supply chain, but even those might take time.

As I said in another thread, G-VNEW is now onto its third Engine change since delivery in 2014.

And Along with G-VBOW, that’s now half of our fleet which has had issues or an engine change!

OMAA

What I don't understand is why the A350 is having none of these problems. Is it a completely different engine (size), and why can't that engine work on the 787?

Will RR ever fix it properly, or will this keep happening as the hours build up?

RR already has fixed this issue on the Trent 1000 TEN version of the engine which is now used for new 787 deliveries and if the production capacity allows it also to retrofit them on effected frames. The older Trent 1000 Package A, B & C version cannot simply be upgraded to the TEN version, but RR is working on a permanent fix that should be certified soon. When the fix is certified all engines will need to be fitted with the fix, this will result in grounded 787s well into 2019.

The engines on the A350 are a different type, the parts that have caused the issues on the Trent 1000 are not on the Trent XWB so the A350 is not affected with these issues. The Trent 7000 which is used on the A330neo is closer related to the Trent 1000, but just like the Trent 1000 TEN they have already addressed the issues in the design of the engine.

So what is involved in bringing ALL in service (RR) 787s to Trent 1000 TEN standard? Would that not have been a quicker and cheaper route to take? rather than take a year finding a solution, which might not work. What if it all happens again in three years time when these 'fixed' engines wear out too.

If I were the airlines, I would not want these engines back, and I would think very carefully before buying RR again.

There's not enough production capacity to replace all the affected engines with new ones, even if RR stops delivering engines for new frames.

And why would the fix not work? They know what to do, the Trent 1000 TEN doesn't have the same issues. Better take the time making a working permanent fix then doing some quick band-aid solution. When they have the fix ready it needs to be certified, that takes time. And then it needs to be applied to all the engines. But as all certified engine workshops are already working at full capacity it will again take more time. There's no fix for this problem that will solve all the problems in an instant. Airlines will have to ground all of their 787s if they don't want to fly these fixed engines and then RR won't pay for all the extra expenses. It's simply not realistic.

It looks like SY was returned to KQ last month when they received their last 789, SZ could be returned after the next one is delivered next month, A4O-SH rolled out of final assembly 5 days ago at PAE

Look closely. The name of the plane is Bo-eng, Scoot's local dialect alliterative homophone of Boeing. It means busy or very busy. This bird was on static display at the first day of the Singapore Airshow 2016...for only a few hours. When asked why the time was so short, the crew pointed to its name, saying smilingly, "that's the reason".
The LCC arm of SIA has been naming all members of her Dreamliner fleet with appellatives that are quirky at times, Bo-eng being the eighth of the line. The first seven are Dreamstart, Barry, Inspiring Spirit, Big Yella Fella, Maju-lah, Eight Treasures and Lickity-Split.
The others that followed are Scootilicious, Goin’ Scootin’, The Future is Yellow, KamaScootra, Scooti-mite, Mous-Scoot-ka, Bo Jio, Getting Lei'd, Wandermust and Fernweh.
The 12th - KamaScootra (a playful take on kamasutra) - was in dedication to India on the launch of the nonstop service from Jaipur to Singapore last year.
The final two 789s out of the 10 788s and 10 789s ordered will be due to join the present 18 Dreamliners in service very soon. Well, maybe a little while longer as they are Rollers powered.
