Beijing News According to the "Civil Aviation Resource Network" Weixin Official Accounts,candycrushsodasagakingOn May 14, the blogger "Ban Bang Buntu" released a message on the Short Video platform saying that his China Eastern Airlines flight MU742 from Bangkok, Thailand to Kunming, Yunnan Province on the 13th was missed. The reason was actually "the captain disappeared." Once the video was released, it immediately aroused heated discussion among netizens.
In response, on the evening of May 14, the official account of China Eastern Airlines responded in the comment area of "Break Rabbit Rabbit": The online news that the crew had lost contact was false. The plane he was on due to a thunderstorm in Bangkok had made an alternate landing in Phnom Penh during the previous flight. After the weather improved, he flew back to Bangkok, which caused the original flight crew to timeout. In order to ensure aviation safety, the company decided to replace the local backup crew to carry out flights. During this period, due to severe congestion in ground transportation in Bangkok, new crew members arrived at the airport late.
