The troubled airline made headlines last year after it lost two airliners in separate disasters - leading to huge loss of stock value.
And this week the company were forced to land yet another plane, after Flight 148 from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur got into difficulty.
The flight made a landing without incident or injury, an airport spokeswoman said, though Anna Gillett from Melbourne airport did not confirm media reports that the Airbus A330 had returned to the runway due to an engine fire.
‘The pilot called an emergency landing and as standard procedure when a pilot calls any sort of emergency landing, emergency personnel are currently on site,’ Gillett said.
She also confirmed that the jet had dumped fuel, stating this was standard procedure before an emergency landing.
In 2014, Malaysian airlines lost MH370 somewhere over the Indian Ocean, with 239 people on board. No wreckage of the doomed flight has ever been found.
Later on in the year, flight MH17 was shot down over the Ukraine, killing all on board.
