Iberworld press release:
"in no moment was there (technically) a fire in the engine" ....
"the origin of the problem was in the hydromechanic fuel feed system that was miss-regulated and introduced an overly enriched mix into the combustion chambers, which produced a small flaming episode" ...
"in no moment was any risk to the airplane or the passengers" .... "security protocols were followed" ....
"airplane was brand new, just a few months old" ....
"the pilot detected soon after takeoff an unusual engine behaviour on the left engine of the aircraft" ....
"even though parameters indicators were within normal ranges, they decided to turn around and land" ...
"the landing ocurred normally 15 minutes after takeoff" ...
"the company rented out another flight which departed a few hours later with 163 out of the original 178 passengers" ... "15 of them decided to stay" ...
