On August 19, 2025, Air France Flight AF9, a Boeing 777‑300ER flying from New York JFK to Paris CDG, declared a “Mayday” and squawked emergency code 7700 after a right-engine failure mid-flight over the Atlantic near the Gulf of Maine. With 311 people on board and 6.5 hours of fuel, the crew promptly turned back and landed safely at JFK at 2:15 a.m. The FAA confirmed the incident, citing a possible engine issue, and an investigation is now underway.
