THAI Clarification on a Video Clip Falsely Claiming an Engine Fell Off
Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI) provides clarification on the false accusation made in a video clip from the Instagram account of Mr. Michael Bay who made an untrue statement that he flew on a THAI flight across the ocean and the engine fell off, whereby the video clip was then shared on social media.
Flight Lieutenant Pratana Patanasiri, THAI Vice President, Aviation Safety, Security, and Standards, said THAI firmly states that none of the aircraft in its fleet has experienced any incident where its engine fell off while in-flight, which was falsely claimed in a video clip filmed by Mr. Michael Bay and shared on social media. The aircraft that appeared in the video was junk or out of service aircraft that has been decommissioned and is no longer the property of Thai Airways International. Therefore, spare parts or aircraft parts are removed to be sold in the aviation market.
Should any person share this false and misleading video, THAI will implement a law suit to legally prosecute the individual accordingly as it damages the Company’s corporate image.
