Malaysia Airlines flight MH156, carrying 186 passengers, diverted to Chennai after an issue was detected involving Engine No. 2, according to PTI. The aircraft was rerouted to the Tamil Nadu capital as a safety precaution following the engine snag. The flight had been operating its scheduled service when the problem emerged, prompting the diversion. No injuries or further technical details have been publicly disclosed at this stage. The diversion comes as Indian airports handle a range of international diversions, with Chennai serving as a key alternate hub on the subcontinent.
Why it matters
All 186 passengers aboard MH156 were affected, with the unscheduled landing in Chennai potentially delaying onward travel and requiring ground support, airline coordination, and possible aircraft repairs before the plane can resume service.
