Singapore Airlines launches probe into Airbus power-loss episode

Both engines lost power at 39,000ft.

Singapore Airlines is investigating a rare power-loss incident that occurred in its Shanghai-bound flight on Saturday, May 23.

Flight SQ836 was en route to Shanghai on May 23 when it encountered bad weather at 39,000ft about three and a half hours after departure.

“Both engines experienced a temporary loss of power and the pilots followed operational procedures to restore normal operation of the engines. The flight continued to Shanghai and touched down uneventfully at 10:56pm local time,” SIA said in a statement.

There were 182 passengers and 12 crew on board. SIA stated that the engines were thoroughly inspected and tested upon arrival in Shanghai but no anomalies detected.
