Anybody have information about an A330 which had an engine shutdown due to eng low press and loss of oil quantity few days ago , the flight continued to destination airport and suffered the same problem with the other engine short of its destination according to the source, the aircraft landed safely as it seemed to had a well experienced crew.I was looking for information by searching the forums but found no data so far.Any data or findings are appreciated.If the news were accurate it needs a very thorough investigation to find out the reasons behind this failure that could have resulted in a disaster.

I had also heard about this flight 2 days ago.
I think they were very lucky that there wasn't a disaster.

If it was the same flight then this is new version of the story , I think we need to know more facts about this.

on the middle east forum that you have the link to above JET 11 had the following information :-
Quote "manufacturing defect - all oil pumps on Trent 330's at EY now being changed.

Apparently a rather large bill is going to be winging its way to RR soon...."unquote.

as I understand it , inflight shutdown of one engine , and they pressed on to destination ? obviously they were near ( or so I assume ) and thought that was the better choice to land asap ???

and again was it oil qty or leak ?

Try this link to the last post in the thread “EY Glider Pilots”. Some knowledgeable and informed engineering input would be most welcome, certainly by me.
