Singapore Airlines is investigating why an Airbus with 182 passengers onboard lost power to both engines, sending it plummeting 13,000 feet.
The airline said the A330-200 was en-route to Shanghai carrying the pasengers and 12 crew when it encountered bad weather at 39,000 feet, three and a half hours after leaving Singapore.
"Both engines experienced a temporary loss of power and the pilots followed operational procedures to restore normal operation of the engines," the airline said in a statement.
It added that flight SQ836 continued to Shanghai, where it landed safely on May 23.
The airline said the aircraft’s two Rolls-Royce engines ‘were thoroughly inspected and tested upon arrival in Shanghai with no anomalies detected’.
"We are reviewing the incident with Rolls-Royce and Airbus," it added.
