Both engines of a Jetstar 787 Dreamliner experienced individual faults as it was coming into land at Osaka’s Kansai International Airport.
The incident occurred mid-air and initial accounts indicate one of the aircraft’s engines experienced a sudden and unexpected surge in speed as the pilots were trying to land the plane.
Not long after this incident, another Jetstar 787 flight encountered the same problem with their engine.
Jetstar’s fleet of 11 Dreamliners are powered by engines which are manufactured by General Electric.
An Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesman said, “[they] are aware of a reported engine surging event involving a Jetstar Boeing 787 on approach to Kansai Airport… [and are] currently liaising with [their] colleagues at the Japan Transport Safety Board on an expected investigation into this event.”
