SIA flight from Milan grounded for more than 24 hours due to 'technical issue'

A Singapore Airlines flight from Milan to Singapore was grounded for more than 24 hours due to a "technical issue". SQ377 was scheduled to depart from Milan's Malpensa Airport at 1pm on Friday when it "encountered a technical issue while the aircraft was still on the ground", a spokesperson for the airline said. "As the engineers on ground required more time to fix the issue, a decision was made to delay the flight and passengers disembarked normally," SIA said. Some passengers contacted Singapore Airlines via its Facebook page to express their frustrations. A spokesperson for SIA said hotel accommodation and meals were arranged for affected passengers. The flight was rescheduled to depart from Milan at 2pm on Saturday. <br/>
