It was reported that the plane with the number VM1645 which was slated for take-off at 1.30 pm had about a 30 minutes delay. The aircraft later took off around 2:00 pm with passengers filled to the brim.
The aircraft was said to have begun to have to swerve around the air until it made a detour for an emergency landing.
The incident was allegedly caused by an engine failure, just as others attributed the incident to a bird strike. The airline is yet to speak on the matter at the time of filing this report.
