مطار الملك خالد يكشف ملابسات إعلانه الطوارئ بسبب طائرة كورية

A Korean Airlines Airbus A330-200, registration HL8211 performing flight KE-962 from Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) to Seoul (South Korea) with 186 passengers, was climbing out of Riyadh's runway 33R when a loud bang was heard from the left hand engine (PW4168A) prompting the crew to level off at about 6000 feet MSL, shut the engine down and return to Riyadh for a safe landing on runway 33L about 30 minutes after departure.

A replacement Airbus A330-200 registration HL8228 departed Riyadh the following day and reached Seoul with a delay of 25 hours.

On Jul 28th 2015 the French BEA reported in their weekly bulletin that the left hand engine stalled at about 500 feet AGL followed by its EGT showing over limit and ENG 1 FAIL ECAM warning. The engine was shut down and the aircraft returned to Riyadh. The occurrence was rated a serious incident and is being investigated by Saudi Arabia's Accident Investigation Board.
