(Reuters) – An AirBaltic A220 flight diverted to France on Wednesday because of an engine issue is the fourth reported case involving the Pratt & Whitney engine powering the Airbus jet, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A220-300 flight, traveling from Riga, Latvia, to Malaga, Spain, was diverted to Bordeaux because of a technical failure in the left engine, France’s Bureau d’Enqu\u00eates et ‘Analyses (BEA) said on Twitter. The flight landed safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus SE and United Technologies Corp, maker of the Pratt PW1500G engines, confirmed in statements that they were aware of the flight and working “to provide assistance” as required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident follows three emergency landings involving the GTF engine on Airbus’s smallest jet, the A220.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“NTSB has accepted delegation for 3 previous incidents so NTSB will also look at the most recent incident,” a spokesman for the U.S. government investigative agency said by email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“NTSB is in the process of gathering initial data. It is still in the early stage of any investigation cannot make any conclusions at this time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pratt & Whitney has said that a software update for the GTF engine on the A220 is expected in the spring, pending regulatory approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
