I'm not sure.
Here are details of the airport
The Sultan Ismail Petra Airport began its operations in September 2002. Today, its new 12,000 sq. metres
airport terminal is equipped with various services and facilities, including three aircraft stands
and three aerobridges, to cater to the increasing inflow of tourists to Kelantan.
Sultan Ismail Petra Airport History
This airport is a former RAF base and the scene of the first Japanese landing in Malaya in December 1941.

Looks like all of the 777 aircraft types require a longer runway than exists at this airport.

I still think it strange, an airport with a 2400m runway and they don't even attempt with some strange emergency? However, I found several places that said a 777 can land on a 2400m runway.

And the Wiki link says it "can accommodate the Airbus A330 and Boeing 737-800"
Would that include the 777?
I really don't know, as I am not familiar with plane landings at all. It is just strange IMO.
