In the midst of the mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, still missing after more than six weeks, the carrier suffered another incident today.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH192 safely turned around and landed back at Kuala Lumpur International Airport this morning after one of the tires burst shortly after takeoff.
Grounds crews noticed debris on the runway consistent with a burst tire about 16 minutes after the flight took off for Bangalore. The captain was notified, turned the Boeing 737-800 around and landed safely back at KLIA.
There were no injures to the 166 passengers and crew aboard.
According to media updates by Malaysia Airlines, “one of the tyres on the right hand main landing gear burst during takeoff. The Captain was alerted by Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control that tyre debris were found on the runway and immediately contacted Malaysia Airlines Operations Control Centre (OCC) at 10:25pm. As safety is of utmost priority to Malaysia Airlines, the aircraft was required to turn back to KLIA. The Airport Fire Rescue Services (AFRS) were deployed as soon as the pilot was instructed to turn back to KLIA by OCC.”
The airline said all 159 passengers and seven crew members on board have disembarked from the aircraft. MH192 will be retimed to depart KLIA at 3.30 pm today and arrive Bangalore at 5 pm the same day.
All passengers were accommodated at nearby hotels.
Malaysian officials have already called for an investigation into the incident.
