My best recommendation would be to use the twin engine plane is not suited for

transatlantic crossing compared to a three engine jet. The probability of failure is far
greater when each engine fails. As shown below.
FOR 3 ENGINE :
For 0 failure, P = 3C0 * (13999/14000)^3 = 0.99978
For 1 failure, P = 3C1 * (1/14000) * (13999/14000)^2 = 2.1425*10^-4
For 2 failure, P = 3C2 * (1/14000)^2 * (13999/14000) = 1.53*10^-8
For 3 failure, P = 3C3 * (1/14000)^3 = 1.1*10^-12
FOR 2 ENGINE :
For 0 failure, P = 2C0 * (13999/14000)^2 = 0.99985
For 1 failure, P = 2C1 * (1/14000) * (13999/14000) = 1.428*10^-4
For 2 failure, P = 2C2 * (1/14000)^2 = 5.1*10^-9
