发帖数: 1105 | 1 HOURS after a Qantas jet plunged almost 8000m during an emergency descent
yesterday a Sydney-bound flight was forced to return to Bangkok because of
engine problems.
Flight QF2 carrying 352 passengers was about 30 minutes into its flight from
Bangkok International Airport when one of its engines began "consuming fuel
more quickly than normal'' a Qantas spokesman said.
It was forced to return to Bangkok where it landed safely about 7pm local
time (11pm AEST).
Affected passengers are expected to spend a second night in temporary
accommodation with Qantas scrambling to send a replacement engine from
Sydney for the troubled Boeing 747 today.
"As far as possible we will try and get passengers who need to return to
Sydney urgently on other flights but that will be dependent on availability
on other airlines,'' the spokesman said.
"It was not actually an engine failure, (the pilots) did not shut the engine
down they just reduced the thrust.''
However one passenger on the flight says the engine "blew".
The spokesman said there were no other replacement Qantas aircraft available
in Bangkok.
The latest safety drama for the besieged airline follows the emergency
descent of a Boeing 737-400 yesterday after its cabin lost pressure on a
flight from Adelaide to Melbourne.
Almost 100 passengers on board the flight were forced to wear oxygen masks
as the plane plummeted 7900m to a height of 3000m.
Qantas said an air-conditioning fault caused the depressurisation.
Last week a trans-Pacific flight carrying 375 passengers diverted to Fiji
after suffering an engine problem while in November Qantas suffered its most
serious safety scare when an engine exploded mid-air en route to Sydney on
board one of its flagship A380s.
Last night's incident was not the first time flight QF2 has been forced to
land because of mechanical problems.
In January 2008 the airline and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau
launched an investigation after QF2 from London lost power from all four of
its generators on its descent into Bangkok.
The 747 with 344 passengers on board lost electrical power about 15 minutes
away from landing.
At the time the ATSB said if the power failure occurred further away from an
airport there could have been a serious accident.
