A My Freighter Airbus A320-200, registration UK32073 performing freight flight C6-222 from Tbilisi (Georgia) to Tashkent (Uzbekistan), was in the initial climb out of Tbilisi's runway 31L when the crew observed a malfunction of the left hand engine (CFM56), stopped the climb at FL090 and entered a hold. The crew subsequently decided to return to Tbilisi for a safe landing on runway 31L about 30 minutes after departure.
The aircraft remained on the ground for 3 days, then positioned to Tashkent as flight C6-2222 and is still on the ground in Tashkent 13 days after landing in Tashkent.
Uzbekistan's AIB rated the occurrence an incident and opened an investigation.
