| THAI INTERNATIONAL BOEING 787-8 HS-TQA (MSN 35315) |
The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER, departed from Bangkok's main international airport on runway 20 Left at 12.46pm, and climbed to 8,000 feet. It had a scheduled arrival time in Frankfurt at 9pm Frankfurt time. However, many people in Samut Sakhon, west of Bangkok, saw the TG 922 flight circling and dumping fuel, leaving long white trails behind the aircraft.
The aircraft performed 6 eight-minute holding patterns before returning to Suvarnabhumi airport, and landed on runway 19 one hour and eighteen minutes later, at 2.04 pm.
Eyewitnesses recorded the circling and fuel discharge on their mobile phones, with some reports indicating the plane circled three to six times. According to sources, the plane returned to land at Suvarnabhumi at 2.12pm, as the cover of a main gear did not close fully. The aircraft was parked at Bay 120 for maintenance.
It departed again at 3.20pm and was rescheduled to arrive in Frankfurt at 10.16pm.
