[baabaabobo]

A Boeing 737 belonging to Nok Air had to perform emergency landing after just a few minutes after taking off from Bangkok airport yesterday.

Nok Air flight DD 4506 had requested emergency landing from the control tower at Don Muang (ดอนเมือง) Airport at 2 pm yesterday, after having taken off at 1.48 pm. The pilots had informed the control tower that the engine of the plane was malfunctioning and an emergency landing had to be made. The plane landed safely after the control tower prepared the runway and emergency units for the landing. Of its 110 passengers and 5 crewmen, no one was injured from the landing. However, 2 were slightly hurt in the process of evacuating the aircraft.

Nok Air executives said that the captain of the flight bound for Phuket decided to bring the aircraft back to Bangkok after abnormal noise was detected from the right wing. The plane then encountered glitches in the braking system while performing the landing and it skidded off the runway.
