Eric1949 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I picked a friend up at around 1300 hrs yesterday. It was delayed as were most of the flights at that time. So what with the incident in the evening, not a good day for Bangkok Airways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All passengers and crew members on board were unharmed, and were safely transferred to Suvarnabhumi Airport on the next flight. Be aware if travelling over the next few days on BKK AIR. The schedules seem to be in disarray at the moment with many cancellations and rescheduling. Probably due to the injured aircraft parked at the end of the Samui apron. It seems to need a new radome and maybe some nosewheel damage as well. Should imagine it's going to be out of service for some while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 1 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 They should have plenty of spare part's the last one they crashed is still parked next to the control tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 1 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Getting back to flight's on the 17th I arrived on a ATR from Uthapao at 1200, on final approach to the runway just over the temple at Banrak the aircraft did a fly around and during that time I heard the front wheel lock down as I was sitting in row 1A. This could have been same aircraft sitting on the ground with nose wheel damage now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorade Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 They should have plenty of spare part's the last one they crashed is still parked next to the control tower. How many ATR's do you need to crash before the aviation authorities step in? So it was a crash was it? As you seem to be the expert why don't you tell us! By the way the control tower aircraft doesn't have a useable nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
