An Asiana Airlines flight bound for Tokyo experienced an engine failure, prompting its return to Incheon International Airport.
Flight Details
Asiana Airlines flight OZ108 was scheduled from Incheon International Airport (ICN) in Seoul, South Korea to Narita International Airport (NRT) in Tokyo, Japan. The flight was operated on an 11-year-old Airbus A330-300 with registration HL8286. There were 263 passengers on board.
The flight took off at 18:48 KST. However, soon after takeoff, it experienced an engine failure. A witness on the ground, who also managed to take a photo of the aircraft producing dark smoke, reported hearing a loud bang followed by visible flames coming from the left engine.
The aircraft managed to climb to 4200 feet before entering a holding pattern for approximately 20 minutes, likely to dump fuel. The flight landed back at Incheon International Airport safely, 54 minutes after its takeoff.
None of the 263 passengers on board reported any injuries, and at the time of this article, Asiana Airlines is currently working on providing an alternative flight for the passengers.
Asiana Airlines has yet to comment on the details of the incident.
