Paris, France:
Some 128 Boeing 777 aircraft working with the exact same Pratt & Whitney engine which failed on a flight out of Denver have now been grounded, a spokesperson for the giant US planemaker told AFP on Monday.
In a statement Sunday, the corporation had encouraged that all the aircraft concerned should really be grounded as US regulators investigated a United Airlines flight which was forced to return to Denver airport soon after one of its engines caught fire and broke up.
As effectively as United Airlines, the PW engine form was also applied by Japan’s ANA and JAL groups, plus South Korea’s Asiana Airlines.
