Crisis move: The RMAF aircraft that made an emergency landing at Subang airport yesterday.

KUALA LUMPUR: A Royal Malaysia Air Force (RMAF) Beechcraft B 200T plane was forced to make an emergency landing at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Selangor.

The pilot safely landed the aircraft at about 1pm yesterday.

The RMAF said four crew onboard were undergoing flight training and had left the Subang Airforce base at about 11.27am.

“All crewmen are safe and did not sustain any injury.

“The RMAF will form an investigation team to identify the cause of the incident,” the RMAF said in a statement.

Earlier, a video of the emergency landing went viral on social media. The aircraft was seen skidding off the runway after one of its landing gears failed to extend.

In a separate statement, Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB) said that the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) had issued a notice for temporary closure of the runway at Subang Airport from 1.15pm to 4.15pm yesterday.

“The runway is being closed to facilitate the removal procedure for a skidded aircraft.

“Glad to share that no one was injured in the incident,” MAHB said.
