    I wonder why the media called this "Emergency"
    Diversion and Emergency are two different meanings...

      Track for a typhoon can be forecasted and I believe pilot should be able to determine if at the time of scheduled arrival whether the weather condition is suitable to land before departure.

      I wonder for the safety and comfor for passengers whether that service should have not left SIN at the first place so diversion would not occur. I believe diversion should cost more money and a bad experience for passengers.

        That's it. I'm avoiding MI too. Unsafe. All I have left in this world to fly are Lion Air and probably Air Zimbabwe (which I incidentally have flown)....
