SIA plane catches fire upon emergency landing at Changi

It has 241 passengers and crew onboard.

A Singapore Airlines plane caught fire at Changi Airport's runway at 6:50 AM on Monday, June 27.

Flight SQ368 was headed to Milan and originally took off at 2:05 AM. It was forced to turn back to Singapore after pilots received an engine oil warning message.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's right engine caught fire. It was put out by airport emergency services and no injuries were reported among the 222 passengers and 19 crew onboard, SIA said.

The passengers will be transferred to another aircraft which is expected to depart for Milan later today. The airline is working with authorities, SIA said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
