SINGAPORE – Passengers on board a flight bound for Singapore from Shanghai on Wednesday were stuck in the plane for nearly eight hours due to a technical fault.
The spokesman added: “The aircraft returned to the bay and engineers were brought on-site to try to rectify the issue. For safety reasons, the ground power had to be disabled while the checks were going on.” The spokesman explained that passengers were made to remain on board as the engineers tried to rectify the technical issues to facilitate a quicker departure if the issues could be resolved. However, the fault persisted “throughout the evening”, leading to the cancellation.
The plane then made a U-turn and taxied back to where the passengers boarded, said Mr Chee, who was travelling with his wife.
