A Thai Airways plane skidded off the runway in Bangkok after the
landing gear malfunctioned, slightly injuring more than a dozen
passengers as they evacuated the jet, the airline said on September 9.
The incident late on September 8 at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi
Airport involved an Airbus 330-300 carrying 288 passengers and 14 crew
members on a flight from Guangzhou in southern China, the carrier
said.
The plane was seen resting on grass on September 9 morning
next to the runway with its evacuation slides still deployed and the
Thai Airways name and logo hastily covered up.-VNA
