An engine malfunction occurred on February 22nd as a Thai Smile Airbus A320-200 was on a flight from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) <\/a>to Phuket International Airport (HKT) on Phuket Island. The aircraft’s descent near Phuket was completed when the failure occurred.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight was uneventful for the majority of the time. The Aviation Herald claims that one of the jet’s engines failed as the aircraft descended toward Phuket. The crew continued to land at Phuket’s <\/a><\/strong>runway 09 because Phuket was, at the moment, the obvious nearest appropriate airport to the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, the touchdown was a hard landing that resulted in a tail strike. However the A320 rolled out without incident, and no injuries were mentioned. While passengers appeared to have fared okay, Phuket’s runway 09 and the A320 could hardly be claimed to have fared as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
