THE manufacturer of the engine that burst into flames on a British Airways jet in Las Vegas said on Wednesday that other aircraft powered by the GE90 engines were still safe to fly.
The Boeing 777 was preparing to take off with 172 people on board on Tuesday when the fire broke out in its left engine. The crew immediately aborted the takeoff and terrified passengers scrambled off the burning plane using emergency slides.
