Daily Mail 20 JAN 2024















'Mayday, mayday, we have an engine fire': Moment Atlas Air pilot frantically requests clearance to land as flames shoot from Boeing 747 jet after Miami take-off - as inspectors 'find softball size hole' above engine


This is the moment the captain of a Boeing 747 told Miami International Airport's tower that he needed to return because one of the engines caught fire shortly after take off.

'Mayday, mayday...We have an engine fire. Request access back to the airport. No, we'll go ahead and land. We have five souls onboard,' the pilot can be heard saying in audio first obtained by NBC Miami.

The captain said the incident involved engine number two and it occurred 'on the climb out' of the airport. Officials later said that a 'softball sized' hole was found above the engine after it was examined upon landing.

In the early trading on Friday, Boeing's share price was down over two percent. Following a string of incidents, shares have slumped around 20 percent this month.



Atlas Air said in a statement that it returned safely to the airport with no injuries reported.


'The crew followed all standard procedures and safely returned to MIA,' the company said in a statement.


Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and no injuries were reported, Miami International Airport said in a separate statement.
