On May 22, 2026, a significant incident occurred involving Transavia flight HV5752, which was en route from Marrakech to Amsterdam. Prior to its departure from Marrakech-Menara Airport, the Boeing 737-800, registered as PH-HSB, reported an engine overheat warning. This warning initially appeared during the pushback phase right after the right engine was started. However, upon conducting necessary checks, the alert disappeared, leading the crew to proceed with the flight.
As the flight ascended to approximately 7,000 feet, or flight level 70, the overheat warning for the right engine reactivated. In response, the pilots followed emergency protocols and relevant checklists to ensure safety. They promptly halted the ascent at around 11,600 feet, shut down the affected engine, and executed a turnaround back to Marrakech. The aircraft landed safely approximately 45 minutes after takeoff, operating on one engine.
It is noteworthy that the report indicated the aircraft landed above the maximum allowable weight limit, although it did not specify the technical reasons behind the engine's overheat indication. This incident raises important questions about flight safety protocols and maintenance checks, particularly concerning engine performance and overall aircraft readiness prior to departure.
