Xinhua, March 19, 2016 Adjust font size:

A Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing 787 flight departing from Bandar Seri Begawan to London via Dubai turned back to Brunei International Airport due to an in-flight shutdown on one of its engines, the flag carrier said in a statement Saturday.

According to the statement, the aircraft returned approximately an hour after take-off on Friday and landed safely without incident.

All 213 passengers and 12 crew were safely disembarked at the terminal at about 10 p.m. local time (GMT1400) at night.

Some flights have been cancelled and rescheduled as a result of the aircraft engine shutdown. Enditem
