On April 18, 2018, at about 1809 eastern daylight time, a Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-300, N806NW, equipped with two Pratt & Whitney PW4168A-1D engines, experienced a No. 2 engine fire during initial climb from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (KATL), Atlanta, Georgia. The flight crew reported a No. 2 engine fire electronic centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM) indication at about 500 feet AGL, declared an emergency, shutdown the No. 2 engine, discharged both fire bottles, and initiated an air turn back to KATL. During the return to ATL, the fire warning indication cleared, and the airplane made an uneventful overweight single engine landing. After landing, airport rescue and firefighting (ARFF) crews met the airplane on the runway and observed smoke and flames emanating from the No. 2 engine. ARFF sprayed the engine with fire retardant foam and extinguished the fire. The airplane was towed to the gate and the passengers disembarked. There were no injuries to the passengers or crew and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The flight was being operated in accordance with 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 and was a regularly scheduled flight from KATL to London Heathrow International Airport (EGLL), London, England.
