A recent incident at Boston Logan International Airport forced Delta Air Lines to cancel a flight bound for Italy. An Airbus A330-300 experienced an engine fire, prompting emergency services to spring into action. Fortunately, no passengers or crew suffered injuries during this alarming situation.

The flight, designated DL 112, planned to depart for Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino Airport at 18:05 on Tuesday. Although the plane left the gate on time, it never took off. At approximately 19:00 local time, the flight crew notified authorities about the engine issue before departure.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire in the aircraft’s No. 1 engine. After the incident, the Airbus A330-300 safely returned to the gate, allowing all 152 passengers and crew members to disembark without any issues.

Delta Air Lines took immediate action by bringing the aircraft in for a detailed inspection after the fire. Upon further evaluation, the airline found that the aircraft needed additional maintenance, leading to the cancellation of the flight. Delta Air Lines actively rebooks affected passengers to ensure they reach their destination.

This incident marks the second fire-related disruption at Boston’s airport within the same week. Earlier, United Flight 2136 faced an engine issue during its pre-departure checks, causing a delay. Investigators later revealed that ignited grass beneath the aircraft caused the problem, not the engine itself.

As Delta Air Lines works to resolve the situation, the A330-300, registered N815NW, will undergo further maintenance before returning to service. This aircraft, originally delivered to Northwest Airlines in 2007, has been an integral part of Delta’s fleet since December 2009. It is next scheduled to fly from Atlanta to Amsterdam on Friday.
