Lufthansa Airbus A340-600 Returns To Boston Twice In 2 Days

汉莎航空空客A340-600在两天内两次往返波士顿

On November 8th, a Lufthansa flight departing Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) with service to Munich Airport (MUC) returned to BOS shortly after departure on two separate departure attempts. The flight was ultimately canceled, and the passengers were rerouted to MUC. No injuries were reported in association with this incident.

11月8日，汉莎航空公司一架从波士顿洛根国际机场(BOS)出发、飞往慕尼黑机场(MUC)的航班在两次分别起飞后不久又返回了BOS。该航班最终被取消，乘客改道飞往中央航空大学。此次事件中没有人员受伤的报道。

Safety diversion

安全转移

Lufthansa flight LH425, operated on an Airbus A340 registered D-AIHP, initially departed BOS for MUC at 20:18 ET. The aircraft climbed to flight level 270, where it leveled off prematurely. After roughly 12 minutes at this altitude, the flight crew informed Air Traffic Control (ATC) that it would need to return to BOS for a technical failure. The pilots were required to dump fuel over the Atlantic Ocean to be under max landing weight. The flight landed safely on runway 33L approximately 80 minutes after the initial departure.

汉莎航空LH425航班由一架注册为D-AIHP的空客A340飞机执飞，最初于东部时间20:18从波斯起飞前往MUC，飞机爬升到飞行高度270，在那里提前平降。在这个高度大约12分钟后，机组人员通知空中交通管制(ATC)，由于技术故障需要返回BOS。飞行员被要求在大西洋上空倾倒燃料，以达到最大着陆重量。该航班在最初起飞约80分钟后安全降落在33L跑道上。

The airplane underwent maintenance inspections for several hours before the flight could be resumed. The second departure occurred at 01:06 ET on November 9th. This flight met a similar fate to the last when at flight level 270, the aircraft leveled off, and the pilots reported an engine malfunction to ATC and requested to return to BOS. Once again, the pilots needed to dump fuel over the ocean before returning to ensure that the airplane was under max landing weight, which is lighter than max takeoff weight. This flight landed safely on runway 33L roughly one hour after departure.

飞机在恢复飞行前进行了几个小时的维修检查。第二次离开发生在11月9日东部时间01:06。这次飞行遭遇了与上次类似的命运，在飞行高度270时，飞机平降，飞行员向空中管制中心报告了发动机故障，并要求返回BOS。再一次，飞行员需要在返回之前向海洋中倾倒燃料，以确保飞机在最大着陆重量(比最大起飞重量轻)下。该航班起飞约一小时后安全降落在33L跑道上。

The A340 was reportedly having problems with its number 2 engine. Simple Flying has reached out to Lufthansa concerning the cause of this event. This article will be updated once a response has been received.

据报道，A340的2号发动机出现了问题。Simple Flying已经联系了汉莎航空公司，了解这一事件的原因。本文将在收到回复后进行更新

The passengers of flight LH425 were rerouted to their final destinations as the flight was canceled. The flight resumed on schedule the following evening when another Airbus A340 registered D-AIHI was placed on the route. Lufthansa has yet to make an official statement concerning the flight and what accommodations were made for the delayed passengers.

LH425航班因航班取消，乘客被迫改道前往最终目的地。第二天晚上，当另一架注册为D-AIHI的空客A340降落在该航线上时，航班如期恢复。汉莎航空公司尚未就该航班以及为被延误的乘客提供了何种安排发表官方声明。

The airplane

这架飞机

The original A340 in question remains on the apron at BOS while it receives necessary maintenance. It is currently unclear then the widebody jet will return to service. The 281-seat A340 joined the Lufthansa fleet in 2006 and has been operated by the carrier ever since. Used primarily for long-haul flights, the widebody jet has accrued over 52,000 flight hours on over 5,000 flights. The 16-year-old aircraft is expected to retire next year. However, with many aircraft deliveries being delayed due to the pandemic, this retirement may be pushed back in accordance with the airline's needs.

这架有问题的A340飞机仍在BOS的停机坪上接受必要的维护。目前还不清楚宽体客机是否会恢复服务。这架281座的A340客机于2006年加入汉莎航空的机队，从那时起就一直由该航空公司运营。该宽体客机主要用于长途飞行，累计飞行5000多次，飞行时间超过5.2万小时。这架已有16年历史的飞机预计将于明年退役。然而，由于疫情导致许多飞机交付延迟，该退休计划可能会根据航空公司的需要推迟。

Recent diversion

就近分流

This past August, a Lufthansa Boeing 747 diverted to BOS as a safety precaution. Flight LH403 was scheduled to travel between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Frankfurt Airport (FRA). Shortly after departing EWR, the flight crew decided to divert to BOS after the pilots noticed smoke in the cockpit. The flight landed safely, and passengers were rerouted to their final destinations.

今年8月，汉莎航空公司(Lufthansa)的一架波音747作为安全预防措施改道飞往博斯岛。LH403航班原定在纽瓦克自由国际机场(EWR)和法兰克福机场(FRA)之间飞行。离开EWR后不久，飞行员注意到驾驶舱有烟，机组人员决定备降到BOS。该航班安全着陆，乘客被改道前往最终目的地
