The airliner with the most engine failures in just 3 weeks
G- OMYT was an Airbus A330-200 initially deliverd to Airtours international and registered as G-MOJO.
In 2002 it was repainted into MyTravel colors. And finally in 2008 it was operated on the Thomas Cook UK AOC.
G-OMYT was built with 2 RR Trent engines, which caused some troubles on this plane.
Most airliners never experience any engine shutdown in flight during its lifetime.
In 2012 G-OMYT had in total 3 engine shutdowns in flight in only 3 weeks.
So this Thomas Cook A330 is the only airliner we know with that high number of engine failures
Oct 26th 2012 Gatwick - Orlando
Nov 9th 2012 Manchester - Cayo Coco
Nov 17th 2012 Manchester - Cancun
Some more engine problems occurred the following years, but always during Takoff run.
Thomas Cook was a company founded by the British baptist missionary Thomas Cook.
Over the years Thomas Cook became a frontrunner and global player in the travel industry. After several takeovers and mergers, Thomas Cook had to cease operations in September 2019.
Unfortunately this was the end for G-OMYT as well.
So we had to take the opportunity and add this plane of the famous Thomas Cook to our collection.
