An Emirates A380 was stranded at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport on Monday night after taxiway pavement collapsed beneath it. The Dubai-bound superjumbo required towing before departing 71 minutes later. It was the second confirmed aircraft ground failure in six days, following a China Airlines incident on October 28. However, two further reported incidents suggest four aircraft ground problems within a month. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn ordered emergency repairs, shutting a runway for 13 hours and a taxiway for 61 hours. Meanwhile, aviation regulators are investigating waterlogged ground as engineers reconstruct 1,950 square metres of damaged pavement.

An Emirates Airbus A380 superjumbo became stranded on a damaged taxiway at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport on Monday night. The Dubai-bound aircraft was trapped after pavement deteriorated beneath it, forcing ground crews to bring in a towing vehicle.

It was the second confirmed aircraft ground failure near the same runway in six days. However, reports of two further China Airlines incidents suggest four aircraft may have encountered ground difficulties since October 8.

The failures have triggered emergency runway closures, extensive repairs and a government-ordered investigation into Thailand’s principal international airport.

Emirates A380 stranded for 67 minutes after taxiway pavement fails under Dubai-bound jet at Suvarnabhumi

The latest incident struck at 9.11 pm on Monday, November 2, as Emirates flight EK373 prepared to depart for Dubai. The giant Airbus A380 became immobilised on Taxiway E21, near the threshold of runway 02R.

Airport controllers and ground-handling personnel immediately responded. Meanwhile, Bangkok Flight Services (BFS) was summoned to provide equipment capable of towing the aircraft clear.

The recovery operation lasted more than an hour. At 10.18 pm, ground crews finally removed the aircraft from the damaged section. Just four minutes later, the A380 took off for Dubai at 10.22 pm. In total, the aircraft had been immobilised for 67 minutes. Its departure came 71 minutes after the airport first reported the problem.

Airport authorities confirmed that the pavement had deteriorated beneath the aircraft during departure movements. However, the incident did not involve a reported engine failure or emergency landing. Instead, the problem arose while the aircraft was taxiing towards departure. No emergency passenger evacuation was reported, and the aircraft subsequently continued its journey.

Airport investigates saturated ground as China Airlines jet becomes trapped near the same runway earlier

Officials have not disclosed how many passengers or crew were aboard flight EK373. Equally, no confirmed assessment of possible damage to the aircraft has been released. Its registration has not been independently verified. Nor have officials disclosed any passenger compensation, missed connections or a formal Emirates response.

The Airbus A380 is the world’s largest passenger airliner. Depending on its configuration, it can accommodate approximately 484 to 615 passengers. Its maximum take-off weight can reach approximately 575 tonnes, depending on the variant. Nevertheless, authorities have not suggested that the Emirates aircraft exceeded permitted pavement loading limits.

Instead, investigators are examining the ground supporting the airport’s paved surfaces. Suvarnabhumi officials identified prolonged rainfall and flooding as contributing factors. Water had accumulated beneath sections of pavement, weakening the supporting ground. Consequently, the surface became vulnerable to deterioration under aircraft movements.

The latest failure followed a similar incident involving China Airlines on Wednesday, October 28. That aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, was operating flight CAL840 to Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

At approximately 7.20 pm, its main landing gear became trapped in damaged pavement near runway 02R. The aircraft was preparing to depart when the ground problem stopped its movement.

China Airlines disruption delays five flights as engineers find waterlogged ground beneath pavement

Airport personnel subsequently arranged for the aircraft’s removal and temporary repairs. However, the disruption extended beyond the affected China Airlines service. Aviation reports indicated that four other aircraft were blocked. Additionally, five flights suffered delays of approximately two hours as airport operations were affected.

Following the incident, Airports of Thailand (AOT) chief executive Paweena Jariyathitipong disclosed preliminary engineering findings. Inspections had identified soft ground containing substantial moisture beneath the airport’s paved infrastructure.

The initial assessment linked the deterioration to water accumulation following heavy rainfall. Yet another aircraft became immobilised nearby just five days later.

The Emirates A380 encountered trouble close to the earlier China Airlines incident. However, officials have not established whether the same repaired pavement failed again. Both confirmed incidents occurred during departure movements near runway 02R. Moreover, each involved damaged pavement associated with moisture-saturated supporting ground.

The aircraft involved were substantially different. The first was a China Airlines Boeing 737-800, while the second was an Emirates Airbus A380. Nevertheless, both became immobilised on airport surfaces normally used for aircraft movements. In each case, airport personnel had to intervene before operations could continue.

Two more China Airlines incidents reported in October as questions grow over aircraft ground difficulties

Fresh reporting has since widened the account of recent ground difficulties at Suvarnabhumi. On Tuesday, November 3, MGR Online reported claims concerning two additional China Airlines incidents during October. These accounts emerged through social media and remain unconfirmed. If verified, they would bring the reported total to four incidents within 26 days.

The first additional account concerns China Airlines flight CI839 on October 8. According to the reports, the aircraft had arrived from Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It reportedly encountered wheel difficulties while approaching its parking stand. However, no independent official confirmation of the incident has been established.

A second account concerns China Airlines flight CI837, arriving from Taipei on October 26. The aircraft reportedly suffered a rear-wheel incident involving drainage infrastructure at Suvarnabhumi. According to the claims, a wheel became trapped near or within a drain. Subsequently, its return service, flight CI838, was reportedly delayed by nearly three hours.

These accounts remain separate from the two officially confirmed pavement failures. Neither has been independently verified through the available official material. Furthermore, investigators have not established whether either reported incident involved subsidence or the same underlying ground conditions. The October 26 account specifically describes difficulties involving drainage infrastructure rather than a confirmed pavement collapse.

Government orders emergency repairs and 13-hour runway closure after second confirmed pavement failure

Nevertheless, the two additional reports place the confirmed failures within a wider sequence of reported aircraft ground difficulties. The October 8 account concerns an arriving aircraft approaching its stand. The October 26 report also involves an arriving China Airlines aircraft. By contrast, the confirmed October 28 and November 2 incidents occurred during departure movements.

The latest confirmed failure prompted an immediate government response. On Tuesday, November 3, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn ordered urgent repairs and further engineering examinations.

The intervention followed confirmation of another damaged airport surface near runway 02R. In response, authorities announced closures affecting both the runway system and Taxiway E21.

Runway 02R/20L was scheduled to close for 13 hours, beginning at 7 pm on Tuesday. The closure was due to end at 8 am on Wednesday, November 4. Engineering teams were assigned to reconstruct a damaged section measuring approximately 15 metres by 100 metres. The work required excavation to a depth of approximately 33 centimetres.

Taxiway E21 shut for 61 hours as airport excavates damaged pavement and diverts aircraft movements

Separately, Taxiway E21 faced a substantially longer closure. Airport authorities scheduled restrictions lasting 61 hours, beginning at 7 pm on Tuesday. The taxiway was due to reopen at 8 am on Friday, November 6. Its damaged section measures approximately 10 metres by 45 metres, with excavation again reaching approximately 33 centimetres.

The longer taxiway closure includes time for the replacement pavement to develop sufficient strength. Together, the two repair areas cover approximately 1,950 square metres. Both require damaged material to be removed before the surfaces can be reconstructed. The programme therefore involves more extensive work than temporary repairs to the visible pavement.

Despite the closures, AOT maintained that scheduled airport operations could continue. Suvarnabhumi’s two remaining operational runways were expected to handle aircraft movements during the restrictions.

Aeronautical Radio of Thailand (Aerothai) indicated that the available capacity could accommodate planned flights. Airport authorities therefore expected to manage the maintenance programme without significant disruption to overall operations.

Meanwhile, aircraft movements were redirected through nearby Taxiway E19. However, that alternative route also requires pavement-strength examinations. Engineers must assess whether neighbouring surfaces have suffered deterioration similar to the damaged section. The checks form part of the broader examination following the two confirmed aircraft immobilisations.

Taxiway extension awaits regulatory approval as aviation authority demands answers over repeated failures

On another front, AOT is preparing to introduce a newly completed extension of Taxiway D. The additional infrastructure could provide another route for aircraft movements. However, the extension remains subject to inspection by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT). It has not been cleared for use in the supplied reports.

The airport’s closure arrangements were also reflected in a formal aviation notice. NOTAM A4361/26 confirmed that Taxiway E21 was closed for maintenance until November 6. The notice provided operational confirmation of the restriction. Meanwhile, the runway closure was scheduled to finish earlier, following overnight repairs.

By Wednesday morning, November 4, runway 02R/20L was due to reopen at 8 am. However, the available material did not independently confirm that operations resumed at the scheduled time. Taxiway E21 remained subject to its longer repair programme. Thai PBS World reported on Wednesday that repairs were continuing, with completion expected on Friday morning.

The repeated failures have also drawn direct intervention from Thailand’s aviation regulator. CAAT director Air Chief Marshal Manat Chawanaprayoon demanded explanations from AOT and measures to prevent further incidents. The regulator wants stronger procedures for detecting weaknesses beneath airport surfaces. Its examination covers runways, taxiways and aircraft parking areas.

Aviation regulator seeks technology to detect pavement weaknesses and prevent further aircraft incidents

In particular, CAAT wants technology capable of identifying deterioration before pavement failures occur. The proposed measures extend beyond visual inspections and temporary repairs. Instead, they involve examining the strength of supporting ground beneath operational surfaces. Officials are also considering methods for detecting locations vulnerable to subsidence.

CAAT officials were expected to inspect the affected infrastructure during the week beginning November 2. The regulator will work with AOT and airport engineering personnel. Together, they will examine pavement conditions, supporting ground and the areas surrounding the confirmed failures. The findings will inform further discussions with the Transport Ministry.

According to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, those discussions are expected the following week. The government has directed attention towards longer-term maintenance and preventive work. This includes structural-strength assessments and examinations of drainage and pavement conditions. However, the full extent of any additional work remains undetermined.

AOT chief executive Paweena Jariyathitipong has acknowledged the heavy stresses experienced by particular airport surfaces. These include aircraft turning areas, runway thresholds and taxiway exits. Such locations experience repeated aircraft movements and concentrated loading. Additionally, she identified moisture-saturated soft soil beneath the airport as a problem requiring attention.

Airport expands inspections after repairs fail to prevent another aircraft from becoming stranded nearby

The preliminary engineering findings connect pavement deterioration with water accumulation beneath the airport’s surfaces. However, the reports do not establish how extensively those conditions affect the wider airport. Neither have officials confirmed whether similar weaknesses exist beneath other operational areas. Further inspections are intended to examine those conditions.

The October 28 China Airlines incident had already prompted temporary repairs before operations resumed.

Yet the Emirates A380 became immobilised nearby on November 2. The available evidence does not establish that the original repaired section failed again. Nevertheless, a second confirmed pavement failure occurred within the same general operational area.

Consequently, the airport’s response has expanded beyond repairs to individual damaged sections. Engineering teams are examining neighbouring pavement while preparing alternative aircraft routes. In parallel, CAAT is seeking explanations and preventive measures from AOT. The regulator’s involvement introduces further scrutiny of the airport’s inspection and maintenance arrangements.

Officials distinguish confirmed pavement failures from unverified reports involving China Airlines jets

No official finding of negligence, defective construction or regulatory non-compliance has been established in the supplied reports. Likewise, the available material does not identify a confirmed structural defect affecting the entire airport.

The established findings concern damaged pavement, moisture-saturated supporting ground and repeated aircraft immobilisations. The wider engineering assessment remains incomplete.

The additional China Airlines accounts also require separate verification. The October 8 report concerns flight CI839 arriving from Kaohsiung. Meanwhile, the October 26 account involves flight CI837 arriving from Taipei. The latter also includes a reported delay of nearly three hours to return service CI838. Neither incident has been independently confirmed.

By comparison, the October 28 China Airlines and November 2 Emirates incidents are supported by official airport accounts. Both involved aircraft becoming immobilised during departure movements. Both occurred near runway 02R, although officials have not established that the same repaired pavement failed twice. The confirmed incidents also required direct ground intervention.

China Airlines and Emirates incidents leave aircraft damage and flight disruption questions unanswered

The October 28 failure trapped the main landing gear of a Boeing 737-800. Subsequently, airport personnel removed the aircraft and carried out temporary repairs. Four aircraft were reportedly blocked, while five flights experienced delays of approximately two hours. The disruption extended beyond the affected China Airlines service.

Five days later, the Emirates A380 required towing from Taxiway E21. Bangkok Flight Services was called to assist with the recovery. The aircraft remained immobilised until 10.18 pm before departing four minutes later. However, the available Emirates reports do not provide a comparable breakdown of delays affecting surrounding flights.

Questions also remain about the condition of the Emirates aircraft following its removal. The official account establishes that flight EK373 departed for Dubai. However, it does not identify any damage to the landing gear or other components. Nor does it establish whether engineers inspected the aircraft before departure.

No passenger injuries were reported in the reviewed accounts. Equally, no emergency evacuation was reported during the Emirates incident. The number of passengers aboard remains undisclosed. There are also no confirmed details concerning missed connections, compensation or disruption after the aircraft departed Bangkok.

Airport faces Friday taxiway reopening deadline as engineers inspect nearby surfaces and ground strength

The aircraft’s successful departure nevertheless marked the end of the immediate towing operation. Ground crews had removed the A380 from the damaged section after 67 minutes. Four minutes later, the flight was airborne. The airport subsequently turned its attention towards repairs and inspections of the affected infrastructure.

The immediate maintenance programme involves two separate damaged areas near runway 02R. Engineers must reconstruct approximately 1,950 square metres of pavement. Both sections require excavation to a depth of approximately 33 centimetres.

However, the taxiway faces a longer closure because the replacement surface requires additional time to develop strength.

Operational arrangements also extend beyond the damaged sections. Taxiway E19 requires further pavement-strength checks. Separately, the newly completed Taxiway D extension awaits CAAT inspection. Airport authorities are therefore examining alternative aircraft routes while repairs continue.

The central runway’s scheduled reopening on Wednesday morning represented the first major deadline. The second concerns Taxiway E21, which is scheduled to reopen at 8 am on Friday.

Meanwhile, CAAT’s engineering examinations will determine the next stage of maintenance discussions. Those findings are expected to address the condition of the supporting ground and neighbouring surfaces.

Two confirmed aircraft ground failures trigger repairs and regulatory scrutiny at Suvarnabhumi Airport

The reported incidents span different aircraft types and operational circumstances. Two involve confirmed pavement failures during departure movements. Another two concern unverified accounts of China Airlines wheel difficulties during arrivals. However, the available evidence does not establish a common cause across all four reports.

The confirmed record remains substantial. A China Airlines Boeing 737-800 became trapped near runway 02R on October 28. Then, on November 2, an Emirates Airbus A380 became immobilised on Taxiway E21. Both incidents required airport intervention, while the second triggered extensive emergency repairs.

In response, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn ordered further examinations. CAAT director Air Chief Marshal Manat Chawanaprayoon demanded explanations and stronger preventive measures.

AOT chief executive Paweena Jariyathitipong identified moisture-saturated supporting ground and heavily stressed airport surfaces as areas requiring attention.

The government-ordered repairs are scheduled to continue until Friday morning. Meanwhile, runway operations are being managed around the maintenance restrictions. Further inspections will examine the condition of the pavement and supporting ground. The regulator’s findings are expected to shape subsequent maintenance planning.

For now, two aircraft immobilisations within six days have been officially confirmed near the same runway. Two earlier China Airlines incidents remain unverified. The Emirates A380 departed for Dubai after ground crews removed it from the damaged taxiway. However, the investigation into repeated pavement failures at Suvarnabhumi Airport remains open.

在生活、媒体、政治、泰国

周一晚间，一架阿联酋航空A380客机因滑行道路面塌陷而滞留在曼谷素万那普机场。这架原定飞往迪拜的巨型客机在被拖曳后，于71分钟后起飞。这是六天内发生的第二起已确认的飞机地面故障，此前中华航空一架客机也于10月28日发生过类似事故。然而，另有两起事故报告显示，一个月内共发生了四起飞机地面故障。副总理兼交通部长皮帕·拉差吉帕卡恩下令进行紧急维修，关闭了一条跑道13小时，一条滑行道61小时。与此同时，航空监管机构正在调查积水地面，工程师们正在重建1950平方米的受损路面。

周一晚间，一架阿联酋航空的空客A380巨型客机在曼谷素万那普机场一条受损的滑行道上抛锚。这架原定飞往迪拜的飞机因下方路面损坏而被困，地勤人员不得不调来拖车。

这是六天内同一跑道附近发生的第二起已确认的飞机地面故障。然而，另有两起中华航空事故的报道表明，自10月8日以来，可能有四架飞机遭遇了地面故障。

这些故障导致跑道紧急关闭、大规模维修，以及政府下令对泰国主要国际机场展开调查。

阿联酋航空A380客机在素万那普机场滑行道路面塌陷，导致一架飞往迪拜的飞机滞留67分钟。

最新一起事故发生在11月2日星期一晚上9点11分，当时阿联酋航空EK373航班正准备飞往迪拜。这架巨大的空客A380客机在E21滑行道上，靠近02R跑道入口处发生故障，无法起飞。

机场管制员和地勤人员立即做出反应。同时，曼谷航空服务公司（BFS）被召集来提供能够将飞机拖离现场的设备。

救援行动持续了一个多小时。晚上10点18分，地勤人员终于将飞机从受损区域移出。仅仅四分钟后，这架A380客机于晚上10点22分起飞前往迪拜。飞机总共被困67分钟。从机场首次报告问题到飞机起飞，历时71分钟。

机场方面证实，飞机起飞滑行过程中，其下方的路面出现损坏。但此次事件并未涉及发动机故障或紧急迫降。相反，问题发生在飞机滑行准备起飞时。没有乘客紧急疏散的报告，飞机随后继续飞行。

机场正在调查地面饱和情况，此前一架中华航空的飞机曾被困在同一条跑道附近。

官方尚未透露EK373航班上的乘客和机组人员人数。同样，也未公布对飞机可能受损情况的最终评估结果。该航班的注册信息也未经独立核实。此外，官方也未透露任何关于乘客赔偿、航班延误或阿联酋航空官方回应的信息。

空客A380是世界上最大的客机。根据配置不同，它可以容纳约484至615名乘客。其最大起飞重量可达约575吨，具体数值取决于机型。然而，有关部门并未暗示阿联酋航空的这架飞机超过了路面允许的荷载限制。

调查人员正在检查机场路面下方的地基。素万那普机场官员指出，持续降雨和洪水是造成路面损坏的原因。积水导致部分路面下方地基松动，从而削弱了地基的支撑。因此，在飞机起降的作用下，路面更容易受到损坏。

此次故障与 10 月 28 日星期三中华航空发生的类似事件类似。那架波音 737-800 型飞机当时正在执飞飞往台湾高雄的 CAL840 航班。

大约晚上7点20分，飞机的主起落架卡在了02R跑道附近受损的路面上。飞机当时正准备起飞，地面故障导致其无法继续移动。

中华航空因工程师发现路面下方地面积水，导致五架航班延误。

机场工作人员随后安排了飞机的移除和临时维修。然而，此次事故的影响范围远不止中华航空这架受影响的飞机。航空报告显示，另有四架飞机被滞留。此外，由于机场运营受到影响，还有五个航班延误了约两个小时。

事故发生后，泰国机场管理局（AOT）首席执行官帕维娜·贾里亚蒂蒂蓬公布了初步工程调查结果。检查发现，机场铺设路面下方存在含水量较高的松软地层。

初步评估认为，飞机损坏是由于暴雨后积水造成的。仅仅五天后，附近又有一架飞机发生故障。

阿联酋航空A380客机遭遇的故障与此前中华航空的事故类似。然而，官方尚未确定是否是同一处修复过的跑道再次出现故障。这两起已确认的事故均发生在02R跑道附近的起飞阶段。此外，两起事故都涉及因地面潮湿而受损的跑道。

涉事飞机型号截然不同。第一架是中华航空的波音737-800，第二架是阿联酋航空的空客A380。然而，两架飞机都瘫痪在了机场通常用于飞机起降的停机坪上。每次事故中，机场工作人员都必须介入才能使航班恢复运行。

10月份中华航空又发生两起事故，人们对飞机地面故障的质疑日益增多。

最新报道进一步扩大了素万那普机场近期地面事故的范围。11月3日星期二，MGR Online报道称，10月份又有两起中华航空的事故发生。这些说法来自社交媒体，目前尚未得到证实。如果属实，那么26天内发生的事故总数将达到四起。

第一份新增报告涉及10月8日中华航空CI839航班。据报道，该航班从台湾高雄飞抵新加坡，在进近停机位时似乎遇到了起落架故障。然而，目前尚未有独立的官方机构证实此事。

第二起事件涉及中华航空CI837航班，该航班于10月26日从台北抵达素万那普机场。据报道，该航班后轮在素万那普机场发生事故，与排水设施有关。据称，一个车轮被卡在排水沟附近或排水沟内。随后，其返程航班CI838据称延误了近三个小时。

这些报告与官方确认的两起路面损坏事件无关。现有官方资料均未对这两起事件进行独立核实。此外，调查人员尚未确定这两起报告事件是否涉及地面沉降或是否存在相同的地质条件。10月26日的报告特别描述了排水基础设施方面的问题，而非已确认的路面坍塌。

政府在确认第二起跑道路面损坏事件后，下令进行紧急维修并关闭跑道13小时。

然而，这两份新增报告将已确认的故障置于一系列已报告的飞机地面故障之中。10月8日的报告涉及一架进港飞机正在接近停机位。10月26日的报告也涉及一架中华航空的进港飞机。相比之下，10月28日和11月2日确认的事件均发生在离港过程中。

最新确认的故障促使政府立即做出回应。11月3日星期二，副总理兼交通部长皮帕·拉差吉帕卡恩下令进行紧急维修和进一步的工程检查。

此次干预行动是在确认02R跑道附近另一处机场地面受损后进行的。作为回应，当局宣布关闭跑道系统和E21滑行道。

02R/20L跑道计划于周二晚上7点开始关闭13小时，预计于11月4日周三早上8点结束。工程团队被派往修复一段约15米长、100米宽的受损跑道。这项工作需要挖掘约33厘米深。

由于机场需要挖掘受损路面并改道飞机航线，E21滑行道关闭了61个小时。

此外，E21滑行道的封闭时间更长。机场当局计划从周二晚上7点开始实施为期61小时的限制措施。该滑行道预计将于11月6日（周五）早上8点重新开放。受损路段尺寸约为10米乘45米，挖掘深度再次达到约33厘米。

较长的滑行道封闭时间包括为新铺设的路面提供足够的强度。两处维修区域总面积约为1950平方米。两处区域都需要先清除受损材料才能进行路面重建。因此，该项目涉及的工程量远大于对可见路面进行临时修补。

尽管部分跑道关闭，但泰国机场运营公司（AOT）仍表示，机场的定期航班运营可以继续进行。预计素万那普机场剩余的两条运营跑道将在限制措施实施期间继续承担飞机起降任务。

泰国航空无线电公司（Aerothai）表示，现有容量足以满足计划航班的需求。因此，机场当局预计能够顺利完成维护计划，不会对整体运营造成重大影响。

与此同时，飞机改道经由附近的E19滑行道。然而，这条替代路线也需要进行路面强度检测。工程师必须评估相邻路面是否出现与受损路段类似的劣化情况。这些检查是继两起飞机停飞事故之后开展的更广泛调查的一部分。

滑行道延长工程尚待监管部门批准，航空当局要求就屡次发生的故障作出解释。

另一方面，AOT正准备启用新近完工的D滑行道延伸段。新增的基础设施可为飞机起降提供另一条航线。然而，该延伸段仍需接受泰国民航局（CAAT）的检查，尚未获准用于已提交的报告中。

机场的关闭安排也已在正式的航空通告中有所体现。NOTAM A4361/26确认，E21滑行道因维护而关闭，直至11月6日。该通告提供了运行方面的确认。与此同时，跑道关闭预计将在完成夜间维修后提前结束。

截至11月4日星期三上午，02R/20L跑道原定于上午8点重新开放。然而，现有资料并未独立证实跑道是否按计划恢复运营。E21滑行道仍处于较长时间的维修阶段。泰国公共电视台（Thai PBS World）周三报道称，维修工作仍在进行中，预计将于周五上午完成。

这些屡次发生的事故也引起了泰国民航监管机构的直接介入。民航局局长马纳特·查瓦纳普拉永空军上将要求泰国机场管理局（AOT）做出解释，并采取措施防止类似事件再次发生。监管机构希望加强对机场地面以下隐患的检测程序。其检查范围涵盖跑道、滑行道和飞机停机坪。

航空监管机构寻求新技术来检测路面缺陷，以防止再次发生飞机事故。

具体而言，CAAT希望采用能够在路面损坏发生前识别路面劣化迹象的技术。拟议的措施不仅限于目视检查和临时修补，还包括检测路面下方地基的强度。相关部门也在考虑如何探测易发生地面沉降的区域。

民航局官员预计将于11月2日开始的一周内对受影响的基础设施进行检查。该监管机构将与机场运营公司（AOT）和机场工程人员合作，共同检查路面状况、地基支撑以及已确认故障区域周围的情况。检查结果将为与交通部的进一步磋商提供依据。

据副总理兼交通部长皮帕·拉差吉帕卡恩称，相关讨论预计将于下周举行。政府已将重点放在长期维护和预防性工作上，包括结构强度评估以及排水和路面状况检查。然而，任何额外工作的具体范围仍未确定。

奥克兰机场运营公司（AOT）首席执行官帕维娜·贾里亚蒂蒂蓬（Paweena Jariyathitipong）承认，机场特定区域承受着巨大的压力。这些区域包括飞机转弯区、跑道入口和滑行道出口。这些区域经常经历飞机起降和集中荷载。此外，她还指出机场下方潮湿松软的土壤也是一个需要关注的问题。

机场在维修未能阻止另一架飞机滞留附近后扩大了检查范围

初步工程调查结果表明，路面损坏与机场地表下方的积水有关。然而，报告并未明确指出这些问题对整个机场的影响范围。官员们也尚未确认其他运营区域下方是否存在类似的隐患。后续的检查将对这些情况进行调查。

10月28日中华航空事故发生后，飞机已进行临时维修，之后才恢复运营。

然而，11月2日，阿联酋航空的A380客机在附近抛锚。现有证据并未表明之前修复的路段再次发生故障。尽管如此，在同一作业区域内确实发生了第二次确认的路面损坏。

因此，机场的应对措施已不再局限于修复个别受损路段。工程团队正在检查邻近路面，并制定替代航线。与此同时，民航局（CAAT）正要求机场运营公司（AOT）解释情况并采取预防措施。监管机构的介入将进一步审查机场的检查和维护安排。

官方证实，未经核实的报道称中华航空的飞机造成路面损坏。

所提供的报告中并未正式认定存在疏忽、施工缺陷或违反监管规定的情况。同样，现有资料也未发现影响整个机场的已确认的结构缺陷。

已确定的调查结果涉及路面损坏、地基土层水分饱和以及飞机反复停飞等问题。更广泛的工程评估尚未完成。

中华航空的其他几起事件也需要单独核实。10月8日的报告涉及从高雄飞来的CI839航班。而10月26日的报告则涉及从台北飞来的CI837航班。后者还提到返程航班CI838延误了近三个小时。这两起事件均尚未得到独立证实。

相比之下，10月28日中华航空和11月2日阿联酋航空的事故均有机场官方证实。两起事故均涉及飞机在起飞过程中发生故障。两起事故均发生在02R跑道附近，但官方尚未证实两次故障均出自同一处修复过的跑道。已确认的事故均需要地面人员直接介入。

中华航空和阿联酋航空的事故留下了飞机损坏和航班中断等问题，目前尚无答案。

10月28日的故障导致一架波音737-800客机的主起落架卡住。随后，机场工作人员将飞机移走并进行了临时维修。据报道，四架飞机受到影响，五个航班延误约两小时。此次事故的影响范围不仅限于受影响的中华航空航班。

五天后，阿联酋航空的A380客机需要从E21滑行道拖走。曼谷航空服务公司应邀协助拖运。飞机一直停在那里，直到晚上10点18分才起飞，四分钟后重新起飞。然而，阿联酋航空的现有报告并未提供对周边航班延误情况的详细分析。

关于阿联酋航空飞机被拖走后的状况，仍然存在疑问。官方说法证实EK373航班已飞往迪拜。然而，官方并未提及起落架或其他部件有任何损坏，也未说明工程师是否在飞机起飞前对其进行过检查。

经审查的记录显示，没有乘客受伤。同样，阿联酋航空的这起事件中也没有紧急疏散的报告。机上乘客人数仍未公开。此外，关于飞机离开曼谷后是否导致乘客错过转机、赔偿或行程中断等情况，目前也没有任何确切的消息。

机场滑行道预计将于周五前重新开放，工程师们正在检查附近路面和地基强度。

尽管如此，飞机成功起飞也标志着紧急拖曳作业的结束。地勤人员在67分钟后将A380从受损区域移出。四分钟后，飞机重新升空。随后，机场将工作重心转移到受损基础设施的维修和检查上。

此次紧急维修计划涉及02R跑道附近两处独立的受损区域。工程师必须重建约1950平方米的路面。两处区域都需要挖掘至约33厘米的深度。

然而，由于更换后的路面需要更多时间才能达到强度，滑行道将面临更长时间的封闭。

运营安排的影响范围不仅限于受损路段。E19滑行道需要进一步进行路面强度检查。此外，新建成的D滑行道延伸段也正在等待民航局的检查。因此，机场当局正在研究维修期间的替代航线。

中央跑道计划于周三上午重新开放，这是第一个重要截止日期。第二个截止日期是E21滑行道，计划于周五上午8点重新开放。

与此同时，CAAT的工程勘察将决定下一阶段的维护讨论方向。预计勘察结果将涉及支撑地基和邻近地面的状况。

素万那普机场发生两起已确认的飞机地面故障，引发维修和监管审查。

报告的事件涉及不同机型和运行情况。其中两起事件已确认发生在起飞滑跑过程中的跑道故障。另两起事件则涉及中华航空飞机在进场滑跑过程中发生的轮子故障，但未经证实。然而，现有证据并未表明这四起事件存在共同的起因。

已确认的事故记录仍然相当惊人。10月28日，一架中华航空的波音737-800客机在02R跑道附近发生故障。随后，11月2日，一架阿联酋航空的空客A380客机在E21滑行道上发生故障。这两起事故都需要机场方面介入，其中第二起事故还引发了大规模的紧急维修。

对此，副总理兼交通部长皮帕·拉差吉帕卡恩下令进行进一步调查。民航局局长马纳特·查瓦纳普拉永空军上将要求作出解释并采取更有力的预防措施。

AOT首席执行官Paweena Jariyathitipong指出，潮湿饱和的支撑地面和承受巨大压力的机场地面是需要关注的领域。

政府下令的维修工作预计将持续到周五上午。在此期间，跑道运行将根据维修限制进行调整。后续检查将检验跑道表面和地基的状况。监管机构的调查结果预计将影响后续的维护计划。

目前，官方已确认六天内在同一跑道附近发生了两起飞机无法起飞的事故。此前中华航空的两起事故尚未得到证实。阿联酋航空的A380客机在地面人员将其从受损滑行道移走后，已飞往迪拜。然而，素万那普机场路面反复出现故障的调查仍在进行中。
