Aircraft makes emergency landing after hydraulics failure

BANGKOK: -- Ninety passengers were left stranded at Bangkok’s Don Muang Airport today when a Phuket Air aircraft bound for the southern resort island was forced to make an emergency landing 15 minutes after takeoff.

Captain Surin Songkhram, the craft’s pilot, made the decision to make an emergency landing after discovering a fault in the hydraulic system of the craft’s wings.

The airline said that it was laying on a special flight to transport the stranded passengers to Phuket this evening.

This morning’s flight to Phuket, which was initially due to take off at 10.50 hrs, had already been delayed several times as engineers tried to fix the fault. It eventually left Don Muang at 14.30, returning just 15 minutes later.

So the "engineers" thought they'd fixed it? So they were wrong. Do they still have a job?

Flying Thai Airways to Phuket, thanks. Skipped over all the tour packages that included Orient Thai and Phuket Airways as part of the deal at the TAT fair last month.
