A KLM Boeing 777-300, registration PH-BVR performing flight
KL-791 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Sao Paulo Guarulhos,SP (Brazil), was in the initial climb out of Amsterdam's runway 24 when the left hand engine (GE90) began to vibrate. With the vibrations remaining within acceptable ranges the crew continued the climb and was enroute at FL300 about 310nm westsouthwest of Amsterdam in English Airspace, when the left hand engine failed prompting the crew to drift the aircraft down to FL170 and return to Amsterdam for a safe landing on runway 18C about 2 hours after departure.
A replacement Boeing 777-300 registration PH-BVS departed with a delay of about 6 hours.
