Nguyen Vu Loc 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2010 There was a thunderstorm lasting almost an hour at SGN airport yesterday afternoon (28 Aug'10) resulting to 7 aircraft (including MH and AK) on hold within 20 miles of the airport. Suddenly the B772ER 9V-SQN flight SQ866 from SIN to HKG requested a (non-technical)emergency landing in the mid of heavy rain and very low visibilty at the runways. After about 10 mins of flying a 1.5 mile holding pattern above the RWY25R localizer, visibility ameliorated to 1,000m. The aircraft touched-down at 16:13LT. The passengers stayed onboard while the aircraft was refueled then departed to HKG at 17:14LT. It arrived at destination 3hrs 20min late. From Singapore Airlines website: 28th August 2010 - Saturday - Flight Number SQ866 / Aircraft (B777-200) Airport Scheduled Time Actual Time Estimated Time Status Departure From Singapore (SIN) Terminal 3 13:30 13:33 Departed Arrival In Ho Chi Minh City 16:00 16:22 Arrived Departure From Ho Chi Minh City 17:00 17:14 Departed Arrival In Hong Kong (HKG) 17:15 20:36 Arrived Final approach #1 #2 #3 Above the runway threshold #4 Refueling with firetruck on standby #5 #6 B744F CI landing 15 min after the B772SQ #7 B744F Cargolux No.5 in sequence Any friend from SQ could clarify on this ad-hoc landing? IMO, It's probable that someone was severely sick to necessitate this landing for hospitalization. Or could the aircraft be short of fuel? The FO has informed ATC while on hold that the endurance is 50 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted August 29, 2010 Uncle Vu Loc, You're really a die-hard to keep spotting in these conditions !!! hats off !!! Me thinks, it's a medical emergency to divert even in these weather conditions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 Any friend from SQ could clarify on this ad-hoc landing? IMO, It's probable that someone was severely sick to necessitate this landing for hospitalization. SGN-SQ confirmed it was a medical diversion: a 81-year old passenger fell unconcious during the flight HKG-SIN, and was taken to hospital after landing @ SGN. Unfortunately, the passenger died after 1 hour in hospital-care...RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
