Default SQ A330 dual engine power loss

A Singapore Airlines Airbus with 182 passengers and 12 crew on board lost power to both engines en route to Shanghai - falling 3,962m (13,000ft) - the airline said on Wednesday as it announced an investigation into the incident.

The Airbus A330-300 flight on 23 May “encountered bad weather at 39,000 feet (11.9 km) about three and a half hours after departure” from Singapore, the airline said in a statement.

“Both engines experienced a temporary loss of power and the pilots followed operational procedures to restore normal operation of the engines,” it said.

Interesting decision to continue for 100 minutes to destination after power was restored (bypassing several suitable enroute alternates).

Perhaps even more interesting that the aircraft returned to service after four hours following a dual engine failure.

Loss of power doesn't necessarily mean engine failure. Also, SQ is one of the leaders in this industry... maybe, in that case, the cause of the problem was easily identified & rectified. But, worth noting the aircraft seems not to have flown since arriving back in SIN

Aircraft involved was SQ's newest A330 9V-SSF, & I noted it doing a service yesterday so she must be sorted.
