Boeing said Monday that it has paused flight tests of its 777X after it found damage in a structure of one of the wide-body aircraft.
The company said it discovered the damage to the custom part, which it said is between the engine and the airplane structure, during scheduled maintenance.
No other flight testing was scheduled for the other aircraft, Boeing said.
"Our team is replacing the part and capturing any learnings from the component and will resume flight testing when ready," Boeing said in a statement.
