SINGAPORE/HONG KONG – An investigation has been launched after a Cathay Pacific jetliner made an emergency landing in Singapore with an engine problem yesterday.

Terrified passengers prayed together as their aircraft, an engine apparently on fire, made its way back to safety, a witness said.

Cathay Pacific Airways said the Airbus A330, bound for Jakarta with 136 passengers on board, landed back in Singapore “without incident”. It said the crew shut down the engine after receiving a “stall warning”. – (Reuters)
