Engine problem: Condor Boeing 757-300 completes return landing in Lanzarote

On Tuesday evening, the Boeing 757-300 operated by Condor and registered D-ABOA suffered an engine problem shortly after takeoff from Lanzarote. The machine should have actually flown to Hamburg as DE1439, but the pilots made a safe return landing.

The airline confirmed that immediately after takeoff "a problem with one of the two engines was discovered". The captain therefore decided to return to Lanzarote airport. Technicians are taking a close look at the affected Boeing 757-300 and will carry out repair work. The D-ABOA is currently still at the Spanish airport.

Condor said about the return landing on Lanzarote: "This is a common maneuver in which there was never any danger for the 266 guests and the eight crew members in this case either".

A spotter accidentally filmed the launch of the D-ABOA and published the video on YouTube. The engine malfunction cannot be seen because the camera did not follow the movement of the aircraft. However, the incident can be heard very clearly.

And what about “fuel”? Dumping? Or was there so little in the tanks that the plane could be landed “without any concerns”, meaning that “there was no risk of damage to the aircraft”?

An overweight landing may be carried out on a Boeing 757-300 because it cannot dump fuel. However, an inspection must be carried out afterwards and can be found in the AMM. (e.g. tire wear, loose screws on the fairing)
