HONG KONG — A Cathay Pacific airliner was forced to make an emergency landing after engine trouble on Monday, prompting the airline and the engine maker Rolls-Royce to start an investigation into the incident.

No one was hurt in the incident, which involved an Airbus A330 aircraft carrying 136 passengers and 13 crew members that left Singapore shortly after 1 a.m. local time, bound for Jakarta. The flight, CX 715, returned to Singapore’s Changi International Airport shortly after takeoff when one of the aircraft’s engines emitted a stall warning, Cathay Pacific said in a statement.

Cathay Pacific, which is based in Hong Kong and is one of the biggest airlines in the Asia-Pacific region, said fire crews met the aircraft on landing and used extinguishers to douse what it described as “sparks” from the affected engine. A separate statement from Changi Airport indicated the engine was on fire.

The passengers disembarked “without incident,” and most were transferred to other flights on Monday morning, according to Cathay.

“Cathay Pacific and Rolls Royce are investigating the incident which has been reported to the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department,” the airline said in its statement.

The aircraft was purchased new by Cathay in February 2001. It has logged approximately 11,250 takeoffs and landings and 37,000 flight hours, according to Ascend, an aviation industry consultancy in London. The plane is powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent engines.

The engine involved was a Trent 700, built by Rolls-Royce of Britain. A Rolls-Royce spokesman said Monday that currently 900 engines of the same model are in service worldwide. The Trent 700 fleet, which first entered service in 1995, has logged a total of 16 million flight hours.
