Airlines in the U.S., Europe and Asia are preparing to temporarily reduce some flights and routes to inspect aircraft affected by the recall of hundreds of Pratt & Whitney jet engines, leaving the unit of the aerospace and defense company RTX (RTX) facing a potential multibillion-dollar bill, The Wall Street Journal’s Doug Cameron reports. Some 137 engines used on Airbus (EADSY) single-aisle jets would need to be inspected over the next several weeks, RTX said Friday. That is fewer than the 200 originally expected but still a problem for carriers that were already dealing with staffing shortages and air-traffic control congestion.
