A passenger airliner operating a flight from Harare to Johannesburg has made an emergency landing at the O.R. Tambo International Airport after suffering engine failure.
Airlink management says all 34 passengers and four crew members are safe.
While en route from Harare, one of the four engines suffered an uncontained failure which then caused damage to its adjacent engine.
Upon assessing the damage and status of the aircraft, the crew elected to continue to Johannesburg where it landed safely under the power of its remaining two engines.
Airlink has notified the South African Civil Aviation Authority, which will launch an investigation into the incident to determine its likely cause.
