A private German aircraft with nine people on board made an emergency landing at Muscat Airport when it was on its way from Maldives to Abu Dhabi, the Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA) said.

“MHV640, the aircraft, had technical issues with its left engine before entering the Omani skies. The Muscat Air Traffic Control Centre received a request at 2:10 pm on Saturday from the pilot stating that there were injured passengers on board,” the PACA said. 

“The request was granted after coordinating with other airlines at the airport to secure safe landing,” the PACA added.

The aircraft landed at 3:14 pm and the injured people on board were moved to hospital.

“The aircraft is still at the airport as an investigation is going on,” the PACA said.
