🛬 Cayman Airways plane makes second emergency landing in two days

Cayman Airways has taken one of its Max 737 aircraft out of service following two emergency landings within two days. The plane, flying from Grand Cayman to New York, was forced to make an emergency landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport due to a flap indication issue during its final approach. This was the same issue that resulted in the plane being removed from service on 8th August after a flight from Los Angeles. 🛩️

The airline replaced a defective sensor and after extensive checks, returned the aircraft to service. The plane flew four flights without issue before the flap indication error reoccurred on approach to JFK. The plane was immediately taken out of service for further investigation. Cayman Airways President and CEO Fabian Whorms reassured passengers and the public that the airline is taking every necessary step to resolve the issue swiftly and thoroughly. 🛠️

Social media footage showing passengers bracing for a crash landing has caused alarm, but officials stated this was a result of an abundance of caution. In the meantime, Cayman Airways has positioned a different aircraft at JFK to ensure continued service to passengers. However, passengers have been warned to expect delays across the network. 🚦
