An aircraft lost control after landing at Bangkok-Don Mueang Airport, veering off the runway to strike a fence and cross a drainage ditch. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported among those on board.

What happened

Following the touchdown at Bangkok-Don Mueang Airport, the aircraft experienced a loss of directional control. Instead of remaining on the paved surface, the plane veered significantly to the left side of the runway. It continued its uncontrolled path off the airfield infrastructure, colliding with a perimeter fence in the process. The aircraft then traversed a drainage ditch before finally coming to a complete stop.

Findings

The incident resulted in physical damage to the aircraft and ground structures but did not lead to any injuries or fatalities. All individuals involved were safe despite the severity of the excursion from the designated runway area.
