engine cowling

Dulles, United States: A United Airlines Boeing 777 bound for Tokyo made an emergency return to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) on Saturday, December 13, after experiencing an engine malfunction shortly after takeoff, officials confirmed. United Flight 803, operating a Boeing 777-200ER with 275 passengers and 15 crew members on board, departed Dulles around midday for Tokyo’s Haneda Airport when one of its engines lost power. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and airline spokespersons said the aircraft returned safely to the airport and landed without injury to any person on board. According to the FAA, the flight encountered a power loss in one engine shortly after departure. Visual footage shared on social media and confirmed by officials showed smoke near an airport runway after a part of the engine’s cowling separated and fell to the ground, igniting a patch of dry brush outside the runway perimeter. Fire crews on the ground quickly extinguished the blaze. Airport fire and rescue units inspected the aircraft after it returned, and operations at the affected runway were briefly paused before normal service resumed. United Airlines stated it would place passengers on a replacement aircraft later on Saturday to continue the scheduled flight to Tokyo. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that all passengers and crew disembarked safely and praised the crew’s conduct during the incident. The FAA has launched a formal investigation into the engine failure to determine the precise cause and ensure aviation safety protocols are upheld. An airport spokesperson reiterated that the emergency response was swift and effective, highlighting that the fire was contained quickly and no injuries were reported. United Airlines, in its statement, said it is cooperating fully with federal authorities to assess the mechanical issue. The airline also thanked emergency responders and airport personnel for their actions during the event.

United 777 Makes Emergency Return To Dulles After Engine Malfunction Post Takeoff

Mumbai, India: The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has issued its preliminary report on July 21, 2025 runway excursion involving an Air India Airbus A320-neo at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, offering the first official account of what caused the aircraft to veer off course upon landing. According to the report, Air India flight AI 2744 was operating from Kochi to Mumbai with 182 people on board including two pilots and five cabin crew when it touched down during heavy rainfall but failed to stay on the runway centerline. Investigators said the aircraft’s right-hand main wheels and nose gear entered the grassy area adjacent to the runway before the crew was able to steer it back onto the paved surface. Despite the excursion, the aircraft maintained control and continued taxiing under its own power to parking bay K5L, where passengers disembarked safely. No injuries were reported among passengers or crew. The AAIB report detailed significant damage to the aircraft’s undercarriage and engine cowling. Three main tyres numbers 2, 3, and 4 were found deflated with cut marks, likely caused by contact with uneven ground. The right engine fan cowl showed cuts on both sides, while investigators also noted grass ingestion in both main landing gear assemblies and the nose landing gear. The report highlights adverse weather conditions as a contributing factor. Mumbai was experiencing intense monsoon rainfall at the time of landing, which likely reduced runway friction. Airport officials briefly suspended operations following the incident to conduct runway inspections, after which flight movements resumed. Air India deployed maintenance teams to tow the aircraft to its hangar for detailed inspection and repairs. The final investigation report is yet to be released.
