AVIATION ACCIDENT CASE STUDY 3
Summary of the accident
On 27th June 2016, Singapore Airlines Flight 368 was scheduled for the international flight
from the company’s hub (Singapore Changi Airport) to Milan-Malpensa Airport which is
situated in Italy. At this time, Boeing 777-300ER was in the operations and it was carrying
around 222 passengers with crew members. According to the sources, it is noted that this
flight was late by 10mins at that time. The IATIA flight number was SQ368. When this
aircraft took the successful take-off then at that time red alerts start beeping in the aircraft’s
indicator. This indicator was indicating about the faulty measure in the airline’s engine. After
getting the red signal, pilot and ground-level technical staff immediately decide for taking a
emergency landing. While landing the aircraft, the right engine caught fire (Jackman and
Millam, 2017). All the teams gather for taken out 222 passengers with all the crew members.
SA confirms that Boeing 777-300ER was utilizing the General Electric GE90-115B engine.
However, after the incident, SA was in the shock that GE90-115B fails because in the year
2016 Boeing 777 had completed 9 years of successful operations (Mendonca and Carney,
2017).
After the investigation conducted by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau of Singapore
(AAIB) it was founded that the right engine's oil system was contaminated due to a crack in
the engine’s oil system through the heat exchanger. According to the sources it was founded
that manufacturer of the general electric engines already conveys to their buyers that after
9years, they may face a certain crack in the engine due to oil heat exchanger. After this
statement of the engine manufacturer, all the Singapore journalists and other agencies starting
putting blame on the maintenance department of Singapore Airlines. Here, the good and
positive news is that all the passengers were safely taken. After the incident, the share price
of Singapore Airlines was declined to $11.77. However, the department of the SA arranges
flight for all the 222 passengers with their other aircraft (Aviation-accidents.net, 2017). In
