Cebu Pacific 5J 142 Manila to Hong Kong 1st Aug 2008
Hi
This flight returned to Manila stating 'technical difficulties' when it was 20 mins or so from Hong Kong. People on board said the engines sounded funny. Anyone know what happened? Why would it return to Manila when so close to HK? Thanks jtt |
Return
Maybe because the Pilot forgot to bring his ATPL license. :ooh::ooh:

Engine Issue
ya engine problem but not a major one plane fixed and flying normal stuff why so worried these planes are pretty tough and we are very safe therefore we did the right thing to turn back - mission first saftey always
|
why not land in HK though? it was nearer right?
|
Better in manila
PIC and team decides what to do this was not emergency best to return to home base - part is replaced plane is flying - happens every day in the airline buiness....................
|
EECEPR, could you share specifically what engine problem?
|
Besides, it's cheaper to fly back to Manila and repair the fault rather than pay for the repair work in Hongkong. It's all about costs.
|
Understood, but quite annoying for all the passengers and all the people who went to the airport to wait to pick them up.
