Japan’s IHI Corp. has resumed some operations at its two aero-engine factories in Soma and hopes to get its whole operation in the earthquake-struck city back online by May. Progressive repair work is under way at the Soma No. 1 and No. 2 Aero-Engine works, says an official from IHI’s aero-engine and space operations. Damage in some parts of the factories was relatively light. Production has partly resumed in those areas, including the machining of engine disks, the official says.
