Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. canceled almost all its scheduled flights from Hong Kong to Singapore on Tuesday, as well as a raft of other services across Asia, after discovering a faulty engine component on some of its Airbus SE A350s.

Eight of Cathay’s nine scheduled Hong Kong-Singapore services on Sept. 3 were scrapped, according to the airline’s website. The only flight still due to depart as of Tuesday mid-morning was an afternoon connection on a Boeing Co. 777.
