It was forced to make an emergency landing at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) around 1 p.m. Videos from the scene show the aircraft sliding on the runway with its left wing touching the ground, eventually coming to a halt on a grassy patch.
The plane belonged to the No 16 squadron and had four crew members onboard, all of whom were safe and unharmed. The Air Force will conduct an investigation to determine the cause of the incident. The runway was temporarily closed by Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) upon request from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) to facilitate the removal of the aircraft.
The airport confirmed via social media that no injuries occurred and that the runway was reopened by 6 p.m. local time.
