Plane makes emergency landing
New Delhi: A Malaysia Airlines plane with 158 passengers and crew had to land under emergency conditions at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Sunday after one of its engines developed a technical problem.
The Delhi-Kuala Lumpur flight MH 173 took off from here at 1308 hours.
After an hour of flying, the pilot of the Airbus 330 aircraft noticed a snag in one of the engines and decided to return.
The plane landed safely at 1505 hours under full emergency conditions, with fire tenders and ambulances alongside the runway on which the aircraft was to land.
“After discovering some problem with the aircraft engine, the captain immediately made contact with airport officials on the ground to alert them about the situation.
“At Malaysia Airlines, the safety of our passengers and crew is our top priority. At no time was this compromised, thanks to the swift response of our pilots together with the close cooperation of the authorities,” Azahar Hamid, Malaysia Airlines Regional Senior Vice President (South Asia) said in a statement. — PTI
