Emergency landing by AirAsia

A Thai AirAsia plane made an emergency landing at Suvarna-bhumi Airport yesterday, 20 minutes after it took off for Chiang Rai.

After leaving the new airport at 11.35am, the pilot of flight FD3254 noticed an engine system called ADI was mal-functioning. The pilot decided to return to Suvarnabhumi and all passengers were later put on another flight.
