Emirates
A330 turns back with mechanical engine failure
Rolls-Royce has
confirmed that an Emirates Airbus A330 turned back to Lusaka, Zambia with an
engine failure on 21 October, and that it is "working with [its] customer" to
establish what happened.
The aircraft
(A6-EAP), which was in the cruise about 30min into its flight to Dubai, landed
safely at Lusaka, where passengers told local press that there were holes in the
left engine cowling.
The aircraft is
fitted with Rolls-Royce Trent 700 series engines. The manufacturer tells
Flightglobal it expects to be able to provide more technical detail in the next
24h.
