As if a crash which killed all passengers on board, and an emergency landing with another craft just days after, were not enough, AirAsia has suffered yet another blow to its reputation. This will just be the nail on the coffin. One of their planes suffered engine failure yesterday. Prompting the ordering of passengers to disembark, just minutes before it was due to take off.
According to Indonesia's Metro TV, the aircraft was taxiing at Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, Indonesia when one of the engines died with a loud bang that horrified passengers. The aircraft however, was able to return to its gate where the 161 passengers disembarked to wait while the engine was repaired.
Passenger Yusuf Fitriadi said:
“The plane was ready and moved, but suddenly a loud sound was heard, the sound of the engine disappeared and the plane moved backwards. We were shocked and panicked.”Mr Yusuf then said that when the airline said the flight was good to go after repairs, 90 per cent of the waiting passengers refused to get back on board. The drama had unfolded at the SAME airport from which doomed AirAsia Flight QZ8501 took off on is fateful voyage on December 28.
