United Technologies claims cracks in engines used by JAS do not pose safety problem

United Technologies has said that cracks found in engines powering aircraft operated by Japan Airlines System (JAS) do not pose a flight safety problem.
The carrier has completed inspections of Pratt & Whitney engines powering its MD-81 and MD-87 aircraft following the discovery of cracks. The inspections were prompted by vibrations in a Pratt & Whitney engine on an aircraft prior to takeoff on 6 January 2004, which was followed by a case of engine trouble the next day.
The airline has cancelled over 200 domestic flights since Monday (19 January) for the inspections, which led to 16 out of the 25 aircraft being grounded.
