An Etihad Airbus A330-200, registration A6-EYH performing flight EY-833 from Hong Kong (China) to Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) with about 200 people on board, was climbing out of Hong Kong's runway 07R when the crew needed to shut the left hand engine (Trent 772) down, stopped the climb at FL100 and returned to Hong Kong for a safe landing on runway 07L about 30 minutes after departure. The aircraft vacated the runway, stopped on the adjacent runway and shut the right hand engine down for a check by emergency services.

The flight was cancelled.
