I see the Strategic Airbus is in use today on the PMI-MAN route, have they had an aircraft go tech or is on of them having maintence?

Ive seen one or two of the Man based aircraft, recently, operating services from Leeds Bradford and east midlands so it could be the case that one of the aircraft has gone to another base and this has lead to them needing to use the A320 on the service.

[textarea]Incident: Jet2 B738 at Ibiza on Jul 21st 2011, engine shut down in flight

A Jet2 Boeing 737-800, registration G-GDFC performing flight LS-170 from Ibiza,SP (Spain) to Manchester,EN (UK) with 180 passengers and 6 crew, was in the initial climb out of Ibiza's runway 06 when the crew needed to shut the right hand engine (CFM56) down, levelled off at 3000 feet and entered a holding before diverting to Palma Mallorca,SP (Spain) for a safe landing on runway 24L about 40 minutes after departure.

The Airport Authority (AENA) said the crew reported a fire indication, the fire how had already extinguished at the time of the landing.

Just to let you all know.

Look close enough at the right engine and you shall see a small amount of what it appears to be flames.

Don't forget to add a source to news articles from else where Concorde Lover!

Great find though. It looks like it probably suffered a bird strike on departure from Ibiza looking at the way the engine was misfiring and popping.

If you look at other Youtube videos where birds have been ingested into aircraft engines you see the same misfiring and engine popping.

I guess we'll need to wait for the official version which will be released in due course.

sorry, i don't usually post this sort of stuff up forgot the source. I thinking it could have been an engine failure but that just my opinion.

Will do, thanks. :good:

Engine surge. Well done to the crew. Big noise in the tabloids of course. Usual we thought we were all going to die whilst crashing onto a school full of toddlers of course.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

You forgot the part where the engine was hanging off the wing, and the wing had nearly fallen off. 😆 Stupid media no jack sh1t about avation. :aggressive:

 

[Jordan-34092]

Aslong as the media gets the story they don't care even if there are a few extra's in it.

A new engine was flown out to Palma using a Hercules.The passengers had a six hour delay before being flown home on a replacement aircraft.

Re: LS257 LBA-PMI

LS257 landed at Mcr at 0755. No further info

 

[The Pole]

G-LSAB currently heading south from MAN to PMI as EXS831, over Birmingham and still climbing through 20,000ft, so her issues yesterday must have been resolved, fingers crossed. Anyone know why she had to turn back to MAN twice whilst doing the LBA-PMI EXS257 service?

I spoke to soon, EXS831 now heading back north. The issue obviously not sorted! Unless the captain has gone back for his butties!

 

[Aviador]

Did the Leeds flight go back into Manchester then or did it return to LBA in the end?

Aviador, according to FlightRadar Logs G-LSAB has been flying - probably doing tests after its maintenance. This is G-LSAB's log:

EXS031E seen @ 2011-07-30 10:07 CET
EXS831 seen @ 2011-07-29 09:07 CET on route from MAN to PMI
EXS257A seen @ 2011-07-28 15:30 CET on route from LBA to PMI
EXS257 seen @ 2011-07-28 09:05 CET on route from LBA to PMI
EXS066M seen @ 2011-07-27 21:41 CET
EXS065M seen @ 2011-07-27 15:13 CET
EXS444 seen @ 2011-07-27 00:34 CET on route from HER to LBA
EXS443 seen @ 2011-07-26 18:58 CET on route from LBA to HER

The log's have been known to be wrong, but it seems that today G-LSAB has flown around as EXS031E. Yesterday (29th's) events can be seen as the aircraft departed for PMI from MAN but never made it as it turned back.

Thanks Tom.

 

[White Heather]

Unless I am mistaken, LSAB was back at its normal base at LBA today as I saw it climbing out from 14 on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully it is sorted now.

 

[tleeds]

I think G-LSAB is still based at MAN White Heather, it must have been G-LSAE which you saw as that is the only 752WL aircraft currently at LBA (I have recorded full details on the LBA-Jet2 forum).

Just for everyone's reference and to ease the confusion as to where each 752 currently is I have made a list:

G-LSAA - Manchester
G-LSAB - Manchester
G-LSAC - Manchester
G-LSAD - East Midlands
G-LSAE - Leeds/Bradford
G-LSAG - Leeds/Bradford
G-LSAH - Leeds/Bradford
G-LSAI - Newcastle
G-LSAJ - East Midlands
G-LSAK - Newcastle
G-LSAL - Glasgow
G-LSAM - Manchester

Regards,
Tom.

Just to let you know AirlinesLuke and everyone else:

G-LSAJ is now LBA based and G-LSAH EMA based. They swapped this evening (31st) in Paphos.
