Shortly after his ascension to the sky, the pilots received an announcement on the engine - problem signal and decided to stop one of the engines, a Canadian company spokesman announced on Friday.
The crew accepted a warning of low plumbing pressure on the left engine and announced the emergency before flying to Tucson, Arizona, writes The Guardian.
Modern microplanes are designed to operate even with one engine, and our crews are trained for such operations”, says the company's “Air Canada” statement.
American aircraft producer, “Boeing”, and companies operating with this model of the plane are preparing for stricter surveillance after the plane returned to operation after 20 months of suspension due to two fatal accidents in 2018 and 2019, where a total of 346 people were left.
One accident, where 189 people died, occurred in October 2018 near Jakarta, Indonesia, while the next accident occurred in March 2019 in Ethiopia, where 157 people were left dead.
