Air Asia X Brisbane Incident 2017, Bird Strike

[Tom/PER 0]

Unconfirmed reports that D7 207 -XXT flying the OOL-KUL sector has diverted to BNE with a technical issue, possibly an engine issue.

 

It's only occured in the last hour and so details are still sketchy.

Anybody notice how we now have 3 A330 engine related diversion in the past few weeks - and all three flights originate from Australian airports?

 

Is there something in the air in Australia right now that's causing these issues?

So people are gonna start blasting air asia again. based on earlier post in this thread, does D7 outsource all the engine daily check to RR team?

 

if I am to correct the keyboard warrior in FB I have to also get my facts correct.

To have 2 birds down, how much will this impact D7 operations?

Someone tossed coins into the engine ?

 

Wonder how will the local media report the incident this time ?

Tracked on FR24, 9M-XBB is assigned on the rescue flight.

Xray Bravo Bravo is currently over NT, Australia. Will land at BNE at 4:14 AEST. Safe flight home, everyone.

Just like MH with two crashes in 2014, D7 is going through Sod's Law this year...

 

I would not bet against a "third time lucky" type of event!

such tiny birds can cause devastating effect

There's some images of the engine of the Facebook group: Australian Aircraft Photographers, which show the extent of the damage. There's bird remains evident and a large chunk is taken missing off one of the fanblades.

 

Undoubtedly another engine change.

Wounded engine. USD 23.25 million¹ burnt!
