Johannesburg - A Kulula passenger aircraft turned back to Johannesburg soon after taking off for Cape Town on Monday because of a "technical alert", Comair said.

Airline spokesperson Glenga Zvenyika said the plane, scheduled to depart just after noon, turned back to Johannesburg in less than an hour after the captain received a "technical alert".

She said this was a normal safety procedure measure.

The exact technical issue that caused the turn-around was still being investigated and the plane was currently being inspected, said Zvenyika.

All 127 passengers aboard have since been accommodated on other flights.
