Alaska AS181 Engine Vibrations 😱 Boeing 787 Returns to Rome 🇮🇹 Instead of Seattle 🇺🇸 ✈️ [TCed3McsafT]
On July 19, 2026, Alaska Airlines Flight AS181, a Boeing 787-9 operating from Rome, Italy, to Seattle, USA, safely returned to Rome Fiumicino Airport after the crew reported GEnx engine vibrations while cruising at FL340 near Newquay, United Kingdom. As a precaution, the pilots turned the aircraft around, descended to FL250, and landed safely on Runway 16R about five hours after departure. The aircraft remained on the ground for approximately 18 hours before resuming service as Flight AS9281, eventually reaching Seattle with a delay of around 24 hours. The incident highlights the importance of precautionary decision-making and airline safety procedures. #AS181 #AlaskaAirlines #RomeFiumicino #Newquay #Boeing787
