THAI flight skids off runway at Khon Kaen Airport
Thai Airways' Flight TG047, scheduled to fly from Khon Kaen to Bangkok, skidded off the runway before it took off shortly after 8 pm.
The accident prompted Nok Air’s flight from Bangkok to Khon Kaen to be unable to land and it had to land at the Udon Thani airport instead.
Nok Air’s passengers, who were scheduled to leave Khon Kane for Bangkok at 8:50 pm, were transferred to Udon Thani to catch their flight there.
Thai Airways offered its passengers, who did not want to return to Bangkok right away, to stay at the Pullman Khon Kaen Hotel pending the clearing of the runway and fixing of the plane.
