A Pobeda Boeing 737-800 flying from Minsk loses an engine on approach to Vnukovo

A Pobeda airline plane operating the Minsk–Moscow flight landed at Vnukovo with one engine shut down. It was a Boeing 737-800. At an altitude of about 1.5 kilometres, on approach to landing, the revs of one of its engines dropped sharply, and the engine then shut down on its own. No passengers were hurt.

The Telegram channel SHOT was the first to report the incident. According to SHOT, an alarm went off in the cockpit straight away, and the crew sent the Pan-Pan-Pan urgency signal and continued the approach. As SHOT describes it, such a signal means a malfunction that requires immediate attention but poses no threat to people's lives or risk of losing the aircraft. A few minutes later the Boeing landed in Moscow.

Belarusian state media also report that the crew reported a situation requiring urgent response and landed the plane successfully. Pobeda and Vnukovo airport have not reported the incident, and the cause of the engine failure has not been given.
