Bandar Seri Begawan - Drama unfolded at the Brunei International Airport when a military transport plane made an "emergency landing" yesterday morning amidst the deployed Emergency Services units based at the Brunei International Airport.

A member of the Royal Brunei Air Force (RBAF) said the incident was part of a military training exercise.

The CN235 aircraft involved was used by the RBAF during its humanitarian relief missions to Banda Aceh, Indonesia earlier this year.

Travellers at the international airport's departure terminal were prevented from checking into flights as the aircraft made its way through the airspace above the airport before the "emergency landing".

One traveller, Kevin, said he could not check in to his Kuala Lumpur flight, until after the training exercise.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
