Plane's emergency landing after engine shutdown
- A flight operated by Blue Islands, departing Birmingham Airport around 3 pm on Sunday, May 25, and headed to Jersey, made an emergency return shortly after takeoff with approximately 70 passengers on board.
- The pilot returned the ATR 72 aircraft due to an engine technical issue detected in the cockpit, combined with strong 30 mph crosswinds causing the plane to rock unsteadily.
- During the landing, the plane veered across the runway three times but was stabilized by the pilot using brakes and thrust reversal; emergency crews responded as a precaution.
- Blue Islands confirmed the engine never failed uncontrollably, passengers disembarked normally, and the airline prioritized safety while the plane was inspected by engineers.
- The safe landing earned pilot praise given the difficult conditions, while passengers described the event as frightening but acknowledged they were assured of their safety.
