A United Airlines plane travelling from Hong Kong (HKG/VHHH) to Guam (GUM/PGUM) made a full emergency landing yesterday due to mechanical issues, with fire and ambulance teams placed on full alert.
Thirty-four fire engines, seven ambulances and seven fire boats were put on standby soon after 11am, following a report of engine problems from flight UA2831, according to the Fire Services Department.
Looking at Flightradar24 I can see the aircraft departed from 07R at 10.46am (local) the plane then stopped climb at 5,800 feet, descended to 2,800 feet and circled for 30 minutes and then landed safely at 11.41am on 07L.
