An identical problem was discovered with an oil line on five jets, making them unsafe to fly. The planes were taken out of service, with engineers working to solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2020\/10\/british-airways-farewell-to-the-queen-of-the-skies.html\">British Airways farewell to the \u201cQueen of the Skies\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If the oil doesn&#8217;t go where it should in an aircraft engine, then there is extreme danger. It&#8217;s a nightmare scenario for any passenger and crew on a long-haul flight,&#8221; said one source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the 20 BA 777s with General Electric engines, only nine are currently flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This flight to the U.S. was the first that the plane, a Boeing 777-236, had made since June 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
