Firefly flight FY3124 was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore on the morning of 29 January, when it was stranded in another state.
The inclement weather meant that the plane couldn’t land at Seletar airport upon arriving here, and after 2 failed attempts at landing the aircraft, the plane was rerouted to Johor Bahru’s Senai International Airport instead.
The passengers were also not able to disembark from the plane upon landing in JB, as the captain announced that they would be taking off for Seletar Airport again, after 2 hours.
Firefly flight FY3124 had departed the Subang Airport, Sultan Abdul Aziz Airport in Kuala Lumpur on 29 January at about 7.20am.
The expected arrival in Singapore at the time was 8.40am, but the aircraft ended up being unable to land at Seletar Airport.
One of the passengers who were onboard the plane, Wu, spoke to 8world news and said that the passengers were told by the captain on the broadcast system twice that they were preparing for landing.
He then spoke to an air stewardess who told him that the Seletar Airport control tower didn’t allow them to land due to the bad weather.
The plane, which was carrying 72 passengers, 2 cabin crew and 2 pilots, were then sent to the Senai International Airport in Johor Bahru instead.
A video was also shared, taken from inside the plane, showing the misty weather conditions outside and the poor visibility.
