Emirates engine shut down on Durban flight

Emirates was forced to take action on flight EK776 from Durban to Dubai this week after noticing low oil pressure on the Airbus A330-200.

Pilots had to shut the right-hand engine on the aircraft and return to Durban King Shaka Airport around 35 minutes after the flight’s departure.

According to a report by Aviation Herald, a replacement Airbus A330-200 was dispatched to Durban the following day and reached Dubai on Sunday 13th June with a total delay of 27.5 hours.
