RTX said on Monday it would have to pull 600 to 700 of its Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan (GTF) engines from Airbus A320neo jets for quality inspections over the next three years. The engine issue was first disclosed in July, but RTX made the extent of the problem clearer on Monday. The announcement caused waves up and down the industry, from component manufacturers like Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries to airline carriers like Germany's Lufthansa that rely on the popular Airbus jets. In July, RTX said microscopic contaminants were found in a powdered metal used in high-pressure turbine discs that are part of the GTF engine's core. RTX is one of two manufacturers of engines for the popular narrowbody Airbus A320neo, the other being CFM International, a joint venture between GE (GE.N) and Safran (SAF.PA).

A Boeing 737 MAX-10 lands over the Spirit AeroSystems logo during a flying display at the 54th International Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Airport near Paris, France, June 22, 2023. Spirit said it burned through $211 million of cash in the second quarter, adding that cash flow will not recover until the 2024-2025 time period. Analysts questioned whether Spirit would have to renegotiate labor contracts with Boeing and Airbus. Seifman said it is unclear what Boeing will do to help Spirit improve its financial health. "We instead believe Boeing and Airbus are likely to continue to contribute customer advances, allowing Spirit to benefit only as production rates improve," he said.
