"The Rolls-Royce chief executive officer, Warren East, said on Tuesday that ANA’s problem was a “manageable issue”. ANA’s “intensive” use of the engines had caused the blades to wear more quickly than usual, he said."

Is the root cause an airline operating procedure?

This article is somewhat confusing. Are they replacing the engines with new engines, or refurbishing the existing engines with new blades?
