PETALING JAYA: What was meant to be a regular flight to Kuala
Lumpur from Chennai, India turned out to be an anxious journey for 195
passengers when their flight experienced a technical fault.
Malaysia
Airlines flight MH181, bound for Kuala Lumpur International Airport,
had departed Chennai at 1.55am Saturday but was forced to divert to
Penang International Airport, where it landed at 8.23am.
Malaysia
Airlines director of operations, Capt Izham Ismail said in a statement
that the diversion was due to low cabin pressure detected during the
final phase of the journey.
“It was necessary in the interest of
our passengers and we activated necessary precautionary measures
inflight to ensure minimal discomfort for our customers.
“Alternate
arrangements were made to send the passengers to KLIA as well as their
final destinations,” he said while apologizing to passengers for the
disruption of their travel plans.
