Engine failure on a Jetstream?

Surely not!

(This from late last night)

An Eagle Air flight with 14 passengers onboard safely landed at Auckland Airport tonight with the use of only one engine.

Pilots aboard Flight NZ-2088 shut down the engine after being alerted by an engine warning indicator in the cockpit.

The J-32 Jetstream aircraft was operated by Air National for Eagle Air and will be inspected by engineers overnight.

And another perspective - this one with a fire!

A Jetstream aircraft was forced to land at Auckland Airport after its pilot made a Mayday call reporting an engine fire last night.

The charter company Air National flight had 14 passengers on board and was over Kaitaia when a full emergency was declared at 6.26pm.

The aircraft turned back and landed safely in Auckland, apparently using only one engine in 30-knot wind at 7.20pm.

Firefighters found no sign of fire.
