KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 (Reuters) - A Malaysia Airlines passenger plane with
166 people on board landed safely at Kuala Lumpur airport early on Monday
after being forced to abandon a flight to Bangalore because of problems with
its landing gear, the airline said.
Defence Minister and Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said in
a tweet: 'All landed safely - going there now!!"
Malaysia Airlines had said earlier that the Boeing 737-800, carrying 159
passengers and seven crew, had suffered a malfunction of its right-hand
landing gear upon takeoff, and would be forced to attempt an emergency
landing.
The website www.flightradar24.com, which displays live air traffic, showed
Flight MH192 repeatedly circling Kuala Lumpur airport before the eventual
landing.
Fire rescue services had been placed on standby, according to the airline.
Last month a Malaysia Airlines flight disappeared on a flight from Kuala
Lumpur to Beijing in unexplained circumstances with 239 people on board, and
the search for its presumed wreckage is still continuing in the Indian
Ocean. (Reporting by Stuart Grudgings, writing by Mark Trevelyan; editing by
