KUALA LUMPUR, Monday
A
Malaysia Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Seoul had to divert to
Hong Kong early Monday due to electrical problems, the carrier said,
adding to the flag-carrier's headaches as it grapples with its missing
plane crisis.
Flight MH066 was "diverted to Hong Kong
due to an inoperative aircraft generator which supplies normal
electrical power" on the Airbus A330-300, the airline said in a
statement.
"However, electrical power continued to be
supplied by the Auxiliary Power Unit," the company said, giving no
further details on the equipment problem.
It said the aircraft landed in Hong Kong "uneventfully" and that all 271 passengers had been transferred to other carriers.
A Hong Kong Airport Authority spokeswoman said the aircraft touched down without incident at about 3:00 am.
INTERNATIONAL SEARCH
The
plane had departed from Kuala Lumpur at 11:37 pm (1537 GMT) on Sunday
and was scheduled to arrive at Seoul's Incheon airport at 6:50 am, South
Korean time.
