On 6 April 2022, a Boeing 767-300 lost left engine oil pressure whilst eastbound and passing south of Cork, Ireland. The aircraft diverted to Shannon after declaring an emergency due to intended engine shutdown. During the subsequent taxi in, a brake fire was observed and extinguished. The aircraft was towed to the terminal after an initial fire service request for evacuation had been withdrawn. An engine oil leak from a chip detector, which had been routinely inspected by a company engineer prior to departure but not reinstalled correctly, was found to have caused the leak and thus the loss of oil pressure.
