Just In: UK Temporarily Bans Boeing 777 After US Engine Fire

Britain said on Monday that Boeing 777 aircraft with the same engines as one that caught fire in the United States would be banned from entering UK airspace.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the temporary restriction applied to jets equipped with Pratt & Whitney 4000-112 series engines.

“I will continue to work closely with the (UK Civil Aviation Authority) to monitor the situation,” he tweeted after a United Airlines plane was forced to make an emergency landing on Saturday following an engine fire.
