A Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N197DN performing flight DL-209 from Edinburgh,SC (UK) to New York JFK,NY (USA), was climbing out of Edinburgh's runway 24 when the crew stopped the climb at about 10,000 feet after the right hand engine (PW4060) emitted a series of bangs and streaks of flames. 




The crew initially set course to return to Edinburgh, but then turned again and positioned for an approach to Glasgow Prestwick,SC (UK) where the aircraft landed safely on runway 30 about 30 minutes after departure. The aircraft taxied to the apron where the passengers disembarked normally.




The aircraft remained in Prestwick until Feb 22nd 2023, then positioned to Atlanta,GA (USA) and remained on the ground in Atlanta before returning to service on Mar 3rd 2023.




The AAIB reported later the aircraft suffered a fuel leak following an inflight engine fire and diverted to Prestwick. The AAIB have opened an investigation.




On Feb 9th 2024 the AAIB reported in a brief interim statement: "The aircraft suffered a contained engine failure on takeoff from Edinburgh Airport and experienced airframe vibration and engine indications resulting in the aircraft diverting to Prestwick Airport. Once on stand, fuel was seen coming from the right wing and the passengers were rapidly disembarked. 




The investigation has been focused on understanding the effect of engine vibration which led to the fuel leak. The investigation is ongoing, and the final report is expected to be published in early 2024."
