It's starting to become clear that God has beef with Malaysia Airlines: two flights had to make emergency landings in Hong Kong and Nepal this week.
The airline said Sunday that one of its planes was hit by a flock of birds while landing in Katmandu, Nepal.
"Upon landing, the aircraft was inspected by the engineer on duty. It was found that the aircraft's landing-light lens cover was broken. The aircraft was grounded for the night and the broken lens was subsequently replaced," according to a statement from the company.
In a separate incident, a flight bound for Seoul had to make an emergency landing in Hong Kong after an electricity generator failed.
"Malaysia Airlines confirms that flight MH066 from Kuala Lumpur to Incheon on 23 March 2014 was diverted to Hong Kong due to an inoperative aircraft generator which supplies normal electrical power. [...] All 271 passengers from MH066 have been transferred on other carriers," the airlnie said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the search continues for missing flight MH370, as satellite imagery appeared to show wreckage in the ocean near Perth, Australia.
