Flight MH066 KL-Incheon diverted to Hong Kong due to technical issues

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) confirmed that flight MH066 from Kuala Lumpur to Incheon on March 23, 2014 had been diverted to Hong Kong due to an inoperative aircraft generator which supplies normal electrical power.

In a statement issued today, the national carrier said, electrical power however had continued to be supplied by the Auxiliary Power Unit. The aircraft was then diverted to Hong Kong for rectification and landed uneventfully.

MH066 operated on the A330-300 aircraft, departed from Kuala Lumpur at 11.37pm and was scheduled to arrive Incheon at 6.50am local time.

All 271 passengers from M066 have been transferred on other carriers. The return flight MH067 from Incheon to Kuala Lumpur is cancelled and passengers have been transferred on other carriers as well as subsequent Malaysia Airlines flight to Kuala Lumpur.
