Motortrouble over Atlanteren - Landet KEF - Curt Lewis

 Incident: Delta A333 over Atlantic on Dec 28th 2020, engine trouble


A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration N810NW performing flight DL-262 from New York JFK,NY (USA) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (France), was enroute at FL380 about 700nm southsouthwest of Keflavik (Iceland) when the crew decided to divert to Keflavik reporting a problem with the #1 engine (PW4168, left hand). The crew requested to descend to FL320 and set course for Keflavik, the turn to Keflavik was approved by Oceanic Control within a minute, however, the request to descent took more than 15 minutes due to a lot of traffic around that needed to be moved out, the aircraft continued to maintain FL380 in the meantime. Finally the aircraft descended to FL290 and landed safely on Keflavik's runway 01 about 2 hours after the decision to divert.

The engine is being replaced.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Keflavik about 62 hours after landing.
