On July 14, 2015 at about 0832 universal coordinated time, an Airbus A330-300, HL8282, operated by Asiana Airlines experienced No. 2 (right) engine fire and oil pressure warnings shortly after takeoff from Incheon International Airport (ICN), Incheon, Republic of Korea. The crew shutdown the No. 2 engine, returned to ICN and made an uneventful single engine landing. During an inspection of the No. 2 engine, thermal damage and sooting was observed along the bottom half of the engine and on the engine cowls. The flight was a regularly scheduled flight from ICN to Tashkent Airport (TAS), Tashkent, Uzebekistan.
