Southwest Airlines says it’s speeding up inspections of engines like the one that failed and sent debris smashing into a plane window, leading to the death of a passenger.

Southwest said Tuesday it expects to finish inspections of the CFM56 engines over the next 30 days. It says it’s making the move out of caution.

The engines are made by CFM International, a joint venture of General Electric Co. and France’s Safran SA. Southwest and CFM are both promising to assist federal officials in the investigation.
