SINGAPORE: A Singapore Airlines flight from Singapore to Japan
had to shut down one of its two engines before landing on Monday
due to engine problems.
But flight SQ672 still managed to land safely with no reported
injuries. The Boeing 777—200 plane was carrying 210 passengers and
13 crew members.
A Singapore Airlines spokesman said: "The cause of the incident
is being investigated by engineers and the aircraft is expected to
return to service once investigations are complete and components
changed."
Flight SQ672 is a turnaround flight and does not continue to
another destination.
"As a result of the incident, the return leg from Nagoya to
Singapore has been delayed. Singapore Airlines is doing all it can
to transfer customers affected by this delay onto other flights
today," the SIA spokesman said.
He added that hotel accommodation will be arranged for
passengers who need to catch a flight on Tuesday if they are unable
to make transfers on Monday itself. — CNA/vm
