Five people were injured Tuesday when a Cathay Pacific Airbus flight from Indonesia made an emergency landing at Hong Kong airport due to an engine failure, the government said.
The more than 300 passengers and 14 crew members on board the CX 780 flight from Surabaya, Indonesia were evacuated, a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Department told AFP.
“The plane made an emergency landing after discovering a problem with one of its engines,” he said.
“Five people were injured after the landing and all of them were sent to hospital.”
The spokesman was unable to confirm media reports that the engine had caught fire.
