Air India's twin troubles with its almost 25-year-old Airbus A320s and aircraft engines show no signs on ebbing. A 26-year-old AI Airbus A320 reportedly had an engine failure while flying on the Varanasi-Delhi sector on Thursday evening.
The pilot got a stall warning from an engine just as he was about to begin descending for landing. He switched off the engine, declared an emergency and landed the 1989-make aircraft safely at IGI Airport on one engine. The AI engineering team will do a detailed "boroscopic examination" of the engine.
This is AI's third engine trouble since Monday when a wide body aircraft flying from Chennai to Singapore had an engine failure and another Airbus A319 operating on a domestic route gave stall warning for an engine.
"Sometimes birds get ingested in engine, impair air flow that leads to stall warning. Whether Thursday's alarm was real or not will be known after checks only . The engine failure warning reported by our wide body aircraft in Singapore in Monday was found to be correct and that engine needs to be changed," said an official.
