The engine trouble that caused a China Eastern Airlines flight to make an emergency landing in Australia on Sunday came after a similar incident involving the same type of Airbus just four weeks ago.
In May, an EgyptAir flight from Cairo to Beijing with 211 people on board aborted its take-off because of similar damage to its engine. It was the same Airbus A330-200 jet airliner - also known as the A332 - with the same Trent 772 engine made by Rolls-Royce, that was involved in the China Eastern incident.
The aircraft was safely brought to a halt and passengers disembarked normally, according to the Aviation Herald website.
Photos of the incident showing a huge hole torn in the engine's cowling, or cover, are similar to those taken of the China Eastern plane. Egyptian media reports said the aircraft had experienced engine failure.
On Sunday, China Eastern Airlines flight MU736 from Sydney to Shanghai had to make an emergency landing 40 minutes after take-off. The crew shut down the left-side engine and reported the damage.
