Today, Monday, Boeing recommended airlines to halt flights of Boeing 777 planes, similar to United Airlines, whose engine has recently burned out, until the US Federal Aviation Administration issues instructions after the examination.

Boeing said it recommends "suspending 69 777s in service and 59 in storage, which are powered by Pratt & Whitney 112-4000 engines until the Federal Aviation Administration determines the appropriate screening protocol."

The US Federal Aviation Administration had issued emergency decisions requiring intensive inspections of Boeing 777 aircraft, which are powered by Pratt & Whitney 4000-112 engines.

The Japanese air authorities also ordered Japan Airlines and ALL Nippon Airways, the two largest aviation companies in the country, to suspend 32 Boeing 777s from operating until further measures are considered.

This comes in the wake of the burning accident of an aircraft engine of the same type belonging to "United Airlines" American Airlines over Denver, Colorado, on Saturday.

For its part, the American airline announced that it would temporarily suspend the use of 24 aircraft with engines of the same type, and said that it was discussing the matter with the relevant authorities to determine additional steps.

The American airline also said - in a statement - that Flight No. 328, which was heading from Denver to Honolulu, carrying 231 passengers and a crew of 10, suffered an engine failure shortly after leaving the airport, and returned safely to the starting point as a measure. Be careful, assuring that all passengers arrived safely.

For his part, Steve Dixon, director of the Federal Aviation Administration, said in a statement that the inspection directive covers Boeing 777s equipped with specific engines (PW4000K), adding that this will likely mean that some aircraft will be decommissioned.

Dickson added that the initial review of engine failure on Saturday shows that the inspection interval for the hollowed-out propeller blades unique to this model, used only on Boeing 777s, should be increased.

It is noteworthy that "United Airlines" is the only American operator that has this type of engines in its fleet.
