KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH0066 from Kuala Lumpur to Incheon, South Korea yesterday, was diverted to Hong Kong International Airport early this morning due to an inoperative aircraft generator. According to a statement by MAS, the generator which supplies normal electrical power to the A330-300 aircraft, had some failure. “Electrical power was then supplied by the Auxiliary Power Unit. The aircraft was diverted to Hong Kong for rectification and landed uneventfully. “All 271 passengers from M066 have been transferred to other carriers. “The return flight MH067 from Incheon to Kuala Lumpur is cancelled and passengers have been transferred to other carriers as well as subsequent Malaysia Airlines flight to Kuala Lumpur,” the statement said. MH066 departed from Kuala Lumpur at 11.37pm and was scheduled to arrive in Incheon at 6.50am local time. -NST.
