PALEMBANG - Citilink flight number QG 944 from Jakarta to Batam made an emergency landing at Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport Palembang, South Sumatra.

This incident was confirmed by the General Manager of Angkasa Pura II, Tommy Arisdianto.

According to him, based on information from the airline's engineering team, the landing was carried out because the plane needed checking and repairs.

"The information is that there is a hydrogen indicator light that is on, so it requires checking at SMB II Airport this afternoon," said Tommy as quoted by Antara, Monday, September 27. After the problem was resolved, he continued, the plane had resumed its journey to Batam.

"After Maghrib, the plane has continued its flight to Batam," he added.

Meanwhile, Tommy has not been able to confirm that there is information that the landing was caused by the children's opening of the plane's emergency door, causing the plane's alarm to sound.

"For details, you can check and confirm with the airline," he added.

It's just that as a result of these improvements, he continued, the information is that there are some passengers who may feel tired so they decide not to continue the flight again.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are four adults and two children who delay departure, maybe tomorrow the airline will take care of it," he said.
