Andrew Lim 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Singapore Airlines reports engine trouble, lands safely in Japan Monday, February 25, 2008 11:01 AM TOKYO (AP) - A Singapore Airlines jet shut down one of its two engines after suffering mechanical trouble Monday but landed safely in Japan, transportation officials said. There were no injuries reported. The Boeing 777-200 plane, flying from Singapore to Nagoya, reported the engine trouble about 30 minutes before arriving, said Yasuki Shigeno, a Transport Ministry official at the Central Japan International Airport. The plane landed with only one engine operating, but none of the 210 passengers and crew members was injured, and there was no damage to the plane, Shigeno said. Airline officials were investigating the cause of the trouble and were to report to the Transport Ministry, he said. http://news.uk.msn.com/Article.aspx?cp-documentid=7626246 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KK Lee 5 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Guess SQ may has to consider to suspend all 777 flights for a few days to break the statistical spike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Guess SQ may has to consider to suspend all 777 flights for a few days to break the statistical spike. So wouldn't you say this is attributed to the fault of their Malaysian engineers in SQ as well since you claimed that the success of SIA relies heavily on Malaysian within SQ? Remember there should be a fair share of credit and blame too. Edited February 25, 2008 by S V Choong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Malaysian engineer can be accountable for these multiple T7 engine shut down; by SQ culture, his nationality will be made known and all blame will be on him.

If many of the SQ engineers are people like him, it's no surprise to me faults occur frequently to their airplanes...

Guest Michael Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Let me think now, with MAS getting new planes the technology will be better than SIA can offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Let me think now, with MAS getting new planes the technology will be better than SIA can offer. If MH is going for A380 - SQ has them, if MH is going for 777-300ER - SQ has them too. How do you think MH offers better technology than SIA?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rozhan 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) How could MAS ever be better than SIA with respect to number of new and latest technologically advanced airplanes in the fleet at any given period. It never has been so in the history post MSA. Edited February 26, 2008 by Rozhan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nik H. 3 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) The reality is SQ is streets ahead of the competition when it comes to almost everything. MH is a distant....make that light years behind. Commercial performance, product delivery, network and routes, management independence, airplane age etc, SQ is better in all these areas. Even when it comes to media management, they have the whole country behind them. Their Comms people are damn sharp. They managed to headline a Nationality rather than an Airline in a mishap. Notice I did not mention safety. And I did not miss this out. And safety is not just about pilot or engineer quality. I also missed out on the Cabin Crew. Sometimes its good to be the underdog. As to this topic, these failures cannot be blamed on the engineers. If its technical in nature, then it may be Engineering. Engineers are only a component of Engineering. There can be many reasons, including management policies, so gotta be careful before just simply 'tembak'. Edited February 26, 2008 by Nik H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just finished my one week resting in Hokkaido. Funny I never hear a single bit of thing about the NGO landing in Japan media. Maybe I am too far and remote away. Bring airline to it's knees? I dun think so. Losing ETOPS certification. Almost there already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
