British engine-maker Rolls-Royce has agreed to rip out all the older Trent 1000 engines in Scoot's Boeing 787s and replace them with a newer, more reliable version.
This will affect 15 of the budget carrier's 18 B-787s that are fitted with the Trent 1000 "package C" engines which are corroding and cracking at a quicker rate than expected - causing significant operational hiccups.
