Jet emergency landing

[Pretzel]

Does any one know what happened this morning in Mumbai with the Jet airways A340 that did and emergency landing !?? Heard it was an engine problem...

Apparently the A-340 lost the no 1 engine coming in from Heathrow and requested an emergency landing in Mumbai. The aircraft made a safe landing and taxied to bay. However, this is the 2nd incident of their A-340 engine failure/shutdown in a month from the last incident after the A-340 returned to Heathrow 2 hrs into the flight to India due to engine problems. Wonder if its the same aircraft?

There was also an incident of their newly acquired A-330 having to reignite both engines after a shutdown at FL340. Seems the Airbus fleet is proving a bit troublesome for 9W. Lets see how the B 777-300's perform. They are expected to joing the fleet from early 2007 onwards. 10 have been ordered.
