NTSB narrative
On February 15, 2015, a Jordan Air Boeing 767-204ER, leased by Shaheen Air International (SAI), experienced a failure of the No. 1 engine, a General Electric CF6-80A2 turbofan engine, during the takeoff roll from the Islamabad International Airport (ISB), Pakistan. The flightcrew heard a loud bang, got a fire warning and continued the takeoff. The flightcrew performed an air turnback and a successful landing was made. No injuries were reported.
The investigation is being conducted by the Jordanian Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA). The NTSB is participating as the US Accredited Representative as the state of manufacturer for the engines. The JCAA can be contacted at investigation@jcaa.gov.jo or by phone at (962) 6 445 2027.

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- No bulk values were replaced by the NTSB case API.
- The date is the UTC date the NTSB stores; the local time zone is not recorded, so the local date may differ by a day.
