The carrier says it is working with Rolls-Royce on the issue, which it expects to be sorted out by September.
Thai Airways’s acting president, Usanee Sangsingkoo said in a statement to FlightGlobal:
“Due to the shortage of Boeing 787 Dreamliner engine spare parts, it is necessary that some aircraft of this type must be parked and temporarily cannot be operated, which is a problem that affects Thai and other airlines worldwide whose 787 aircraft are equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines that have turbine blade problems,”
