Boeing Recommends Airlines Ground 777s
Powered by PW4000-112 Engines
|
Boeing has recommended airlines suspend operations of
the 69 in-service and 59 in-storage 777 aircraft powered by Pratt
& Whitney 4000-112 engines.
The advice comes after United Airlines
flight UA328 (reg: N772UA) had to make an emergency landing at
Denver Int. Airport on Saturday after one of its two engines
experienced an uncontained failure.
United Airlines is the only US airline to operate
the Boeing 777 with Pratt & Whitney 4000-112 engines.
Korean Air, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways
have said that they have grounded their Boeing 777s which use the
same engines.
The dramatic UA328 emergency was not the only
problem that a Boeing aircraft experienced on Saturday. A Boeing
747F diverted to Liege after taking off from
Maastricht-Aachen Airport in Holland when parts of one if its Pratt &
Whitney PW4056 engines fell off. The aircraft was on its way to
New York.
