A China Airlines flight from Shanghai to Taiwan aborted take-off after passengers noticed crack on an engine casing, the Taiwan-based airline said yesterday.
Passengers on the flight from Pudong International Airport to Taoyuan County over the weekend had to wait eight hours until a replacement aircraft was found.
Some passengers looking from their windows shortly before take-off saw a crack in the casing of an engine and informed the captain.
The captain immediately decided to abort take-off.
Passengers later queried why ground crew had failed to spot the crack during inspections before take-off.
