Plane from China diverted to LTSM due to bad weather
Polis Kuala Terengganu said the plane landed at the LTSM after circling in the air for an hour as it was unable to land at the KLIA.
A Qingdao Airlines flight from China to Kuala Lumpur was diverted to Kuala Terengganu yesterday evening due to bad weather. The Airbus A321neo, carrying 207 passengers and crew, was originally headed to Kuala Lumpur International Airport but was redirected to Sultan Mahmud Airport, where it landed safely at 5:30 pm. The flight, numbered QW907, had circled in the air for over an hour and was unable to be diverted to Penang International Airport due to fuel issues.
Sultan Mahmud Airport does not have refueling services, so fuel would have to be arranged from either Kuantan or Kota Bharu.
