Air Asia flight turns back due to technical problems.
AirAsia flight turns back to Perth with 'technical issue'
25 June 2017
A pilot has turned around an AirAsia flight on its way to Malaysia and returned to Perth due to a technical problem with the plane.
The plane departed just before 7am (WST) on Sunday for Kuala Lumpur but the pilot identified a “technical issue” and decided to return to Perth, a Perth airport spokesman said.
The plane landed safely back in Perth at about 10am. Comment is being sought from AirAsia.
The ABC reported that one passenger had said the plane was shaking like a “washing machine” but that the crew had handled the situation very well.
“It was essentially the engine seized up I think, that’s what they told us anyway,” passenger Brenton Atkinson told the ABC.
“The whole thing, the plane started vibrating and shaking pretty bad, and we had to turn around and come back.”

I have found the exact opposite. Where as the Air Asia cabin crew are nearly always Malaysian, [ Muslim ? ] you can expect them to not have been out partying and drinking all night before starting their shift with a sweaty body odour that belongs on a kangaroo.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I mostly fly air asia Phuket- DMK- Mandalay, Yangon or Phnom Penh and the staff is usually thai. Very happy with the price, customer service and 90% of the time on time...Duncan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 7:52 amsaigonjackpot wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2017 5:02 pm AirAsia is crap , jetstar do the same routes but don't hire monkeys as there cabin crew .

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: Air Asia flight turns back due to technical problems.
I read another report which said it was one of the cabin crew - not the pilot - who told the passengers to say a prayer. But even so, it probably caused the passengers to be even more freaked out than they were. What a stupid thing to say, may as well tell them to cross their fingers for a safe landing.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:54 am Pilot says he is scared;

Whoever it was, that was a very stupid move. I am pretty scared of flying at the best of times, an announcement like that would have me completely go apeshit.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 10:18 amI read another report which said it was one of the cabin crew - not the pilot - who told the passengers to say a prayer.

Holy crap. A flying washing machine indeed. And a half hour of that before landing again, hopefully right-side up. It does say something about aircraft engineering that a plane can hold itself together while shaking violently.
