EK 330 EO in DXB

is it true EK A330 lost an Engin after T/O due to a hole in the Engin?
sounds like maintenance missed it up again

Maybe the engine was missing a vital 'E', and decided that life just wasn't worth continuing without it! As far as I know, the engine had two holes, one where the air goes in, the other where it is blown out again

Let's not jump to conclusions here...

A tad reactionary to say the least, lets try and wait until at least one of the facts is known before we point fingers of blame, then at least you will be suitable for management. If you can wait for the full investigation, then maybe you can join the professional community

Seems like a major failure, debris all over the RWY. Apparently a compressor failure according to the engineers today, aircraft still grounded and not back in service. Hence roster changes for some of you gents on the Bus.

Good job done by the crew

Combustion chamber failure of #2 engine at around 10 o'clock position. Quite a bit of damage to the T/R cowls, as you would expect. There is a dent on the inboard flap as well. Repairs are in progress.

Thnkyou for the info.I once had three N3 blades shed their tips on a Trent.It was not a problem until you reduced power as the tips also took the T section on the back of the blade with them.

As I mentioned in the original post on this topic....be very careful what spares you source from Sharjah!!!

Had some dodgy spark plugs from there a few weeks ago and my gardner had hells trouble getting the ol Victa mower going, I learnt my lesson from that and I certainly hope Emirates do too!
