KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 – A Malaysia Airlines (MAS) plane on a flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Incheon International Airport, South Korea was reported to have turned back early this morning.
According to the Flightradar24 website, the flight using an Airbus A330-323 aircraft took off from KLIA at 12.01 this morning before turning around and landing safely at KLIA a few hours later.

On 22 August, flight MH152 which departed from Kuala Lumpur at 2.23 pm bound for Madinah, Saudi Arabia had to turn around due to a pressurisation issue and landed back at KLIA at 5.22 pm.
The day before that, flight MH386, which also used an Airbus A330-300 aircraft, departed from Kuala Lumpur to Shanghai at 9.14pm and reportedly had to turn back to KLIA after flying for about 70 minutes, due to cabin pressure problems.
