Fire in the engine
Yet another Boeing 737 had to make an emergency landing!
A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 737 had to make an emergency landing at Hyderabad airport on Thursday morning local time. One of the aircraft's two engines had caught fire after climbing (see video above).
The right engine of the aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, had caught fire, as a video taken by one of the passengers shows. The pilot turned back and initiated an emergency landing in Hyderabad; all 138 occupants were uninjured.
The plane touched down at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at 3.20 a.m. local time, where numerous fire engines and ambulances were already waiting on the runway. The incident is now being investigated, a spokesperson for Malaysia Airlines said. "The aircraft is on the ground for further inspection," he said.
It was only on Monday that a Boeing 737 on its way to Melbourne made an unscheduled emergency landing in New Zealand following reports from passengers of flames repeatedly bursting out of an engine - krone.at reported (see below).
Numerous mishaps involving Boeing aircraft
The incident follows numerous other mishaps involving Boeing aircraft. The company has been in a permanent crisis since the crashes of two 737 Max jets with a total of 346 fatalities more than five years ago.
