A JetBlue A321neo delivered weeks ago made an emergency landing in Shannon following an engine failure.
A JetBlue flight made an emergency landing at Shannon Airport after suffering an engine problem over the Atlantic on Saturday morning.
Jetblue flight B62220 was travelling from London’s Heathrow Airport to New York JFK. The Airbus A321neo (registration N2180J) jet was cruising at 34,000 ft over the North Atlantic when the crew declared an emergency.
The flight was forced to turn around and divert to Shannon, landing with just one of its two engines operating.
According to breakingnews.ie, one of the engines suffered a ‘compressor stall’ and the crew shut the engine down as a precaution.
The crew confirmed to ATC they had shut down the right engine and that they would require airport emergency services to be standing by for their arrival.
The A321 landed safety by 10.50 local time and was met by fire crew and escorted to the terminal.
A recovery flight took the passenger to New York JFK the day after. But the aircraft with the technical issue is still at Shannon Airport at the time we write this article.
