A Singapore Airlines flight en route to Tokyo was diverted to Taiwan on Monday after a cracked windshield was discovered mid-flight, according to the airline.
The incident involved Flight SQ636, which departed from Singapore’s Changi Airport at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Sunday. The flight, carrying 266 passengers and crew, was scheduled to arrive at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport around 6:20 a.m. on Monday, CNA reported.
However, after the crew identified the crack, the aircraft was redirected to Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan, where it safely landed at around 4 a.m., Singapore Airlines stated.
The flight later departed Taipei on Monday night and is expected to reach Haneda Airport by noon on Tuesday, according to The Straits Times.
