Narrative:
An A320-271N of HK Express was forced emergency landings at Kansai/Osaka twice. Flight HKE/UO3898 from Hong Kong to Kansai made an emergency landing on runway 06L at 16:42 LT due to No.2 engine (PW1100G) problem. None of the time the incident happened, actual location and the number of occupants was reported in this first incident. The troubled engine was checked at Kansai Airport, and the succeeding flight HKE/UO1845 to Hong Kong departed with two hours of delay. The plane took off from runway 24L at 22:32 LT, however, the same engine as before had the same problem over Cape Ashizuri after a half hour from takeoff. The flight crew decided to return to Kansai, and a safe landing on runway 24R was carried out at 23:50 LT. No injuries were reported in both incidents.
