Singapore Airlines Ltd. said a long-distance aircraft went into a descent to restore power in its engines after they malfunctioned in bad weather at cruising altitude on a flight to Shanghai late last week.
The Airbus Group NV A330-300 aircraft was flying at 39,000 feet and was about three and a half hours into a flight from Singapore on May 23 when both engines lost power, though one unit regained normal operation “almost immediately,” the carrier said in a statement. SQ836, with 182 passengers and 12 crew, landed safely in Shanghai after regaining power.
