All passengers on flight AK5218 are “safe”, the company confirmed in a statement by SMS today.
“The wheels of the aircraft are stuck in the grass due to soft soil caused by the rain,” AirAsia said. “The captain did a good job in handling the situation. Engineering is recovering the aircraft so the airport can be reopened.”
