YANGON, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- A Singapore Airlines flight has made an emergency landing at Myanmar's Mandalay International Airport due to engine failure, said a release of the Ministry of Home Affairs Thursday.

The plane experienced a technical glitch with one of its engines while heading from Bangladesh to Singapore at 03:35 p.m. local time on Wednesday.
