Thai Airways Airbus makes emergency landing to Hat Yai

A Thai International Airlines plane heading to Kuala Lumpur makes an emergency landing at the Hat Yai International Airport Tuesday morning. A Thai Airways plane, flight TG415, which left Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport at 9 a.m. landed in the southern Thai city of Hat Yai 2 hours after takeoff, after the pilot found that the cabin air-pressure system was not functioning properly. The pilot said the temperature in the passenger cabin was too high because of the problem.
According to Suraphon Israngkula Na Ayudhya, the responsible of crisis management for the airline, all of the 287 passengers were reported safe. The airline supplied another aircraft to carry all the passengers to Kuala Lumpur. The cause for the air pressure system malfunction is being investigated.
