IN THE latest incident to hit an AirAsia flight departing from Surabaya, the engine of a plane failed just before it took off from Juanda International Airport in the Indonesian city, local news media reported.
The plane had been taxiing for 2m to 3m before takeoff when the engine suddenly died, horrifying passengers, who heard a loud sound
Thankfully, the Bandung-bound plane made it back to the gate and the 120 passengers on board were then asked to disembark while the plane underwent repairs
The plane was supposed to have departed at 9pm local time on Saturday.
Mr Yusuf said that the airline later told passengers that the flight would be resumed after the issue had been attended to, but about 90 per cent of them refused to reboard the plane, fearing that the fault would reoccur during the flight.
You get what you pay for, what do people expect with these cheap airlines....
AirAsia was flawless up until that accident with absolutely no accident. And they're a 3-star airliner on par with a lot of national carriers across the globe.
I heard about this. I would've been with the 10% but I understand why people wouldn't wanna fly after hearing what I could only imagine would be very disturbing noise from inside the plane.
