Ijp, you really have to educate yourself about the world of ETOPS and the effect that one operators engine failures can have on everyone else, because of this the engine manufacturer and the aircraft manufacturer closely monitor engine condition and IFSD rates. Both of these companies have on site reps in Jeddah for this reason…..There are NO secrets!

Anyway that makes Nbr 9, all of which can be attributed to engine design faults! As for this aircraft, it returned to DAM where an engine change was carried out.
