Garuda Indonesia airline ensures that the replacement aircraft due to the return to base (RTB) on the GA-6239 flight on the Solo-Jeddah route using the Airbus 330-300 aircraft, one of the rental fleets prepared to serve this year's Hajj flights.
President Director of Garuda Indonesia, Irfan Setiaputra, said that the cause of the RTB was due to technical problems in one of the aircraft engines, so checking and follow-up to fleet maintenance procedures were required.
"As soon as the plane took off, the pilot in command (PIC) found a cockpit indicator showing the condition of one of the aircraft engines that required further checks, so that the next PIC quickly decided to carry out the RTB procedure to Solo," said Irfan, quoted from ANTARA, Wednesday, July 3.
The plane with registration number T7-MMM consisting of three cockpit crews and 11 cabin crew members returned to Adi Sumarmo Airport, Solo, at 21.07 local time.
The flight crew carried out the process in accordance with the provisions of the applicable safety procedures.
