A UIA Boeing 767-300ER experienced a “loud bang” from its right-hand engine a few minutes after departure from Kyiv Boryspil en route to Bangkok on July 29. The pilots shut down the engine at 4,000 feet and made “a safe overweight landing” at Boryspil, 20 minutes after takeoff, reports The Aviation Herald. Ukraine’s National Bureau of Air Accidents Investigation concluded the low-pressure compressor rotor jammed in the engine of the 27-year-old jet. According to SeatGuru, UIA configures that Boeing to seat 261 passengers. UIA plans to phase out its four Boeing 767-300ERs by the end of next year.
