The take off of a Mihin Lanka flight was suspended temporarily at the Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake due to a mechanical malfunction in the aircraft this afternoon.

The Madurai-bound plane had experienced a mechanical failure earlier too when it attempted to take off in its first attempt.

The A 320, that developed trouble is said to be the best aircraft the airline possesses. (Deepa Adikari)
