A Thai Airways International (THAI) plane heading to Kuala Lumpur makes an emergency landing at southern Thailand's Hat Yai International Airport on Nov. 6, according to THAI.
Wicha Noenlop, director of the airport, said none of 287 passengers onboard THAI flight TG415 were injured when the plane made an emergency landing at 10 a.m. (03:00GMT). The plane left the Suvarnabhumi International Airport near Bangkok at 9 a.m. (02:00GMT).
He said the pilot made an emergency landing after there was a problem with the air conditioning system in the passenger cabin.
He said the temperature in the passenger cabin was too high because of the problem.
If the air conditioning system could not be fixed soon enough, passengers would be transferred to another flight to Kuala Lumpur, he said.
