Rossiya Airlines’ Boeing 777 makes emergency landing due to engine trouble

Boeing Co. 777 aircraft operated by Rossiya Airlines made an emergency landing in Moscow at 4:44 AM local time due to engine trouble.

The Rossiya Air flight was operating as a cargo service from Hong Kong to Madrid, according to an employee at Sheremetyevo International Airport.

The crew of the plane requested to make the emergency landing after one of the left engine control channels failed, according to Interfax. No injuries were reported.

Last Saturday’s incident in Colorado involved a PW4077 engine made by Pratt & Whitney, a division of Raytheon Technologies Corp. A preliminary examination of fragments from the engine suggested a crack that grew gradually over time prompted the failure. The incident led to the groundings of all the Boeing 777s around the world that use the engine.
