How to avoid tax creep in retirement

The state pension went up 8.5% in April, but frozen thresholds mean pensioners will be paying more tax

EASA orders airlines to replace some Rolls-Royce engines

Reuters - UK Focus

FRANKFURT, Dec (Shanghai: 600875.SS - news) 21 (Reuters) - The European aviation safety regulator ordered airlines to replace some Rolls-Royce Trent (BSE: 500251.BO - news) 1000 engines on their aircraft as some components are suspected to have corroded.

It said airlines must de-pair affected engines, which means that where a plane has two affected engines installed, one of them must be removed, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA (Shenzhen: 300215.SZ - news) ) said in an Emergency Airworthiness Directive published on its website on Thursday.

Rolls-Royce told investors in August that 400 to 500 Trent 1000 engines were affected by problems with components wearing out earlier than expected, according to a conference call transcript.

The affected engines are primarily installed on Boeing (Swiss: BA-USD.SW - news) 787 aircraft, according to EASA.
