    Hi umedha, What's going to happen to 9V-SWB? is it serious damage to the aircraft after engine fire? is it possible to see her operating flights back again after repairs?
    Hey Banu
    I did consult Shanaka aboutabout this as soon as it happened. According to his experience most likely she will be repaired.
    What I was thinking, due to the age of the aircraft and it's one of the 1st 300 ER s in the fleet, it might get withdrawn?

    And a lot of argument online if the decision not to emergency evac was right or not ..

    Though it's pretty much a non-issue in Singapore in Singapore.

    About 60 seconds after the plane came to a complete stop, ARFF starting dousing the fire.

    21 A320ceo Family and 24 A320neo Family jetliners, 27 from the A330ceo Family, 18 A330-900neo aircraft, 16 A350-1000s and 12 A380s. Iranians are on fire
    According to Reuters, Iran Air may convert or cancel the order of 12 x A380. I was thinking where there going to fly these A380? It looks like Iran Air up for competing with ME3.

    Hopefully we'll find out delivery dates during the Farnborough Air Show.

Plus as many have said these large orders mean American and European businesses also stand to lose if the political situation gets bad again.
