An Air France Airbus A318-100, registration F-GUGP performing flight
AF-362V from Paris Orly (France) to Algiers (Algeria), was enroute at FL330 over the Mediterranean Sea about 50nm east of Barcelona when the crew decided to turn around and return to Paris Orly. The crew explained they had lost the left hand engine (CFM56) electrical generator but expected a normal landing. The aircraft landed safely back on Paris Orly's runway 25 about 3:20 hours after departure.
The aircraft suffered the failure of the right hand engine the following day, see: Incident: France A318 at Paris on Jan 21st 2022, engine shut down in flight.
