Lufthansa flight returns to New York due to the loss of engine!
London, Vereinigtes Königreich - On May 13, 2025, a Lufthansa flight from New York had to reverse to Frankfurt due to a defective engine. The Airbus A340-300, which was used for the connection, showed increased fuel consumption during the climb. This led the cockpit crew to deduct an urgency request to air traffic control and return to New York. Before landing, the crew carried out a preventive flight maneuver, known as the Delay Vector, to minimize the risk of approach. The first approach to the airport in New York had to be canceled.
A subsequent examination revealed that a defective control unit was responsible for the Airbus engine, which was then replaced. According to the airline, the aircraft is now in use again. op-online.de became known about an earlier incident in which a co-pilot was passed out during a flight, while the captain was not in the cockpit. In this critical Situation, the plane was controlled by an autopilot.
technical problems above the English Channel
Flight safety has gained importance in recent years because technological developments and security standards are increasingly playing a role. The safety in flight operations includes both technical and operational aspects. Airplanes must be approved and controlled by aviation authorities. In Germany, this is the responsibility of the Federal Aviation Office (LBA), while at European level the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is responsible. In addition, organizations such as DFS Deutsche Flugensicherung GmbH ensure smooth processing of flights.
growing importance of security
The security measures at the airport not only include technical inspections, but also increasing controls against external threats, especially in the context of terrorism. These security controls concern passengers, employees and deliveries of goods and are carried out by both the federal police and the federal states. Airlines pay air security fees to the state for every control of passengers. Airports are also responsible for the security control of the staff, including aircraft crew and technicians. bdf.aero informed that safety fees of airlines are part of the airport charges that are subject to approval.
