Scoot is a Singapore based Low cost carrier flying medium and long-haul routes from Singapore, predominantly to China and India.

The pilots acknowledged the ATC and enforced an emergency landing into Chennai International airport which was the alternate airport of the flight 567 in case of an emergency or divert. The aircraft landed safely at around 3:41 am local time at Chennai.

Full emergency at the airport was declared and crash tenders were readied in case of a mishap. All passengers aboard were safely deboarded and given hotel accommodation within Chennai.

Another Boeing 787 aircraft was arranged by the airline which carried the passengers stranded at Chennai and landed back in Singapore . The airline apologized to it’s customers for the inconveniences caused to them.

 

The airline mentioned in statements “Scoot flight TR567, operating Tiruchirappalli – Singapore on 20 May 2019, diverted to Chennai International Airport, as a precaution, due to a cargo smoke warning trigger.
