Lufthansa A340 Diverts to Boston Twice Following Engine Issues
On 8th November, a Lufthansa Airbus A340-600 was forced to return twice to Boston following an abnormality on one of its engines. It seems that the affected engine wasn’t satisfactorily resolved after the first diversion.
The Airbus A340-600 with registration D-AIHP was performing flight LH425 from Boston to Munich. Flight LH425 departed Boston Logan International Airport at 8:18 pm local time, but stopped its climb out of Boston at 27,000 feet, initially without explaining.

Video: Himalaya Adventure – Flying Nepal Airlines A330 to Kathmandu
I flew on Nepal Airlines A330 from Dubai to Kathmandu as the beginning of my flying adventure in the Himalayas. I met Captain Vijay Lama onboard, he is a local celebrity and YouTuber in Nepal.
The flight time to Kathmandu was 4 hours across the Indian subcontinent. Shortly after takeoff, a beautiful sunrise appeared as we fly to the East. Nepal Airlines crew showed me their uniform and food offering on the flight. The weather was good enroute.
Before landing, many tall mountains appeared on the horizon. 8 of the world’s top 10 highest peaks are in Nepal. We can see Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Fishtail, Manaslu, and many tall mountain peaks. The landing into Kathmandu is very exciting with mountains and high terrain around. Watch the final approach from the cockpit.
Next week, I will share my flying experience to Mount Everest by helicopter. This is a once-a-lifetime experience.
