SINGAPORE, Jan 24 - Two Australians were being questioned by Singapore police after the small plane they were flying caused a temporary lockdown of city-state's commercial airspace on Tuesday evening, a local paper reported Thursday.
The plane, a single-engine turboprop Cessna 208, flew into Singapore airspace from Thailand without permission and was intercepted by two Singapore air force fighter jets before landing at Changi Airport.
The Straits Times reported that the plane was bought this month by an Australian woman who owned a travel company. The report did not identify the two people on board.
The closure of commercial airspace affected 23 aircraft, disrupting flights in and out of Changi Airport. Another inbound aircraft was diverted to Senai Airport in neighbouring Malaysia.
