IT’S MAS KARGO THAT IS IN TROUBLE THIS TIME!

The MAS cargo complex building at KLIA had to be evacuated due to a gas leak

NST
South Selangor Zone Fire and Rescue department chief Azmi Sadon said in the 4.17pm incident, some 250 MAS staffers were vacated the building, which was undergoing maintenance work.

 “A fire engine was rushed from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) fire station after receiving a distress call to examine the leakage,” he said when contacted.

Azmi said initial investigations traced the source of the leak to a room in the building which was caused by negligence of a contractor that was conducting the maintenance work.

“We took the necessary steps to vacate the building and conduct ventilation before the gas had dissipated,” he said.

Fortunately, Azmi said there were no casualties or injuries as the result of the leakage as the pyrogen gas was not extremely hazardous.

HONG KONG – A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 271 people from Malaysia to South Korea on Monday was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Hong Kong after a technical fault involving an onboard generator, the airline said.
…

Flight MH066 departed from Kuala Lumpur at 11.37 p.m. (1537 GMT Sunday) bound for Seoul’s Incheon airport. The flight, however, was diverted to Hong Kong’s international airport where it landed safely at around 3 a.m., the airline said.

Malaysia Airlines said the Airbus A330-300 jet was diverted because of an inoperative generator. There was no loss of power because an auxiliary generator took over.

All 271 passengers were transferred to other carriers, the airline said, while the return flight from Incheon to Kuala Lumpur was canceled. Passengers have been transferred to other flights for the return leg.

Ducks

NEW DELHI, March 23– A Malaysia Airlines (MAS) aircraft ferrying 180 passengers and crew ‘ducked’ away from a potential disaster when a flock of ducks struck the aircraft’s windshield during touchdown on the runway of the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) on Friday night.

According to a report, the impact left the southern tip of Runway 02 strewn with broken glass, Nepal’s news portal kantipuronline.com. quoted airport authorities as saying on Saturday.

There was no report of injury on board the Kathmandu-bound MH-144 aircraft from Kuala Lumpur in the incident which occurred at 10.45pm.

The airline’s cockpit crew, however, did not immediately inform the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) of the incident.

The flight captain later confirmed “suspected bird-hit”, but only after a Jet Airways crew reported it to the airport authority, said the report.

It is understood the MAS pilots might face action for failing to report the incident on time.
