Monday to coordinate with a Thai investigation team probing the cause

Suvarnabhumi airport last week, THAI president Piyasvasti Amranand said
Sunday. The Wednesday incident occurred when TG flight 116 which was to
fly to Chiang Mai returned for an emergency landing about 10 minutes
after taking off following the engine fire, the first accident
happening to a Boeing 747-400 in Thailand’s national flag carrier fleet.
