AirAsia flight makes emergency landing

An AirAsia flight was forced to make an emergency landing early yesterday evening after a bird damaged an engine. The Phuket News has the story:

Flight FD 3187 was on the way from Nakorn Sri Thammarat to Bangkok when the bird smashed into one of the engine intakes, causing damage to the engine.

The Airbus A320-200, with 153 passengers and six crew on board, made a safe landing in Phuket and the airline arranged for another aircraft to take the passengers on to their destination.
