Do they have some problemes with the engines?
We see so many engine runs in the Engine test area and RTOs after some flights within the last weeks.

Any ideas what happens to the old engines? Put on other frames for test flights, or just recycled on QR frames?

Firstly, they are surely going to get billed for the use of, shall we say, surrogate engines. Second, isn't it a good thing to test your own engines well, before accepting them? |

I assume that the engines are anyway owned by RR, also the new ones for Qatar being power by the hour. There will be quite a while Qatar frames being test flown at TLS. How many are up are any time, two with four engines?

This means Airbus have eight ore more Spare-Engines only for Qatar Airways.

The ones at the delivery center should have the engines that they will be delivered with. |
