According to an Air Canada response to France-Presse (AFP), on Tuesday, shortly after takeoff from Marana in Arizona, the pilots “received an engine indication and, based on standard operating procedures for the situation, made the decision to shut down a motor “.
“The device was diverted to Tucson [também no Arizona], where it landed normally and still remains, “added Air Canada, without specifying the nature of the problem, which occurred on a non-commercial” positioning flight. “
According to the Belgian specialist website Aviation24.be, which initially disclosed the information, it was a reduction in the hydraulic pressure of the device that was at the origin of the incident.
The Canadian government announced in mid-December that it had validated modifications made to the design of the Boeing 737 MAX, which was banned from flying for 21 months after two accidents that killed 346 people.
However, the device, purchased by Canadian airlines Air Canada, Westjet and Sunwing, has not yet received clearance to return to commercial flights in Canada.
The United States cleared the Boeing 737 MAX to fly again in November, but several modifications must be made to the planes before they enter service, according to the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA).
Last week, the Brazilian company Gol was the first in the world to resume service of the Boeing 737 MAX, on a commercial flight that went without complications between São Paulo and Porto Alegre.
