In the latest development, a fire erupted in one of the engines of an inbound international cargo flight while landing at Chennai airport on Tuesday morning.
An international cargo flight arriving from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, experienced a fire in one of its engines while landing at Chennai airport on Tuesday. Official sources confirmed that the fire broke out in the aircraft’s fourth engine during the landing process. The pilots immediately alerted the relevant airport authorities about the situation. Despite the fire, the crew did not request an emergency landing and continued with the scheduled landing procedure. The aircraft touched down safely without any injuries to the crew members or ground staff present at the airport.
Fire tenders positioned on standby quickly responded to the alert. As soon as the aircraft came to a halt, the firefighting team moved in to extinguish the blaze. Airport officials reported that the fire was brought under control within minutes, preventing any damage to the cargo or other parts of the aircraft.

Airport sources stated that a detailed investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the fire in the engine. Engineers are conducting a technical examination to identify whether the incident was caused by mechanical failure, external factors, or maintenance issues.
