Japan Airlines Corp. and All Nippon Airways Co. were ordered by Japan's transport ministry to inspect aircraft made by Bombardier Inc. after a damaged engine part was found on a Bombardier plane last week.

The ministry told the carriers to inspect engine parts of 25 Bombardier Q400 aircraft operated by the airlines' units, it said in a statement on Aug. 21.

A Japan Air unit discovered a damaged turbine blade on one of its Bombardier aircraft on Aug. 12 after a take-off from Itami airport near Osaka was aborted due to a noise from the engine. No one aboard the plane was injured.
