Air France A319 at Paris on Mar 12th 2014, engine starves due to lack of fuel

An Air France Airbus A319-100, registration F-GRHT performing flight AF-7665 from Marseille to Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) with 84 people on board, was descending through FL100 on approach to Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport when the left hand engine (CFM56) starved after both left hand fuel pumps dropped offline. The crew worked the engien failure checklists, declared emergency and continued for a safe single engine landing on runway 08L about 10 minutes later.

The French BEA reported in their weekly bulletin of May 13th 2014, that the aircraft had departed Marseille with 5000kg (11,000lbs) of fuel. A post flight inspection revealed the left hand wing tank was empty, the right hand wing tank contained 1100kg (2425 lbs) of fuel, about 150kg (330 lbs) above required minimum fuel reserve. The ECAM displayed between 1000 and 1380 kg (between 2200 and 3040 lbs) of fuel for each left and right hand wing tank.

The incident aircraft remained on the ground until Apr 2nd 2014 (for 21 days) before resuming service.
