Nok Air issued a statement saying that "The plane arrived at Mae Fah Luang-Chiang Rai international airport at 9.06pm in heavy rain and, as it was taxiing along the runway towards its parking position on the apron, it skidded off the runway." and that " the pilot managed to park the plane safely and all the passengers and crew were safely ushered into the passenger terminal.". The photographs suggest that the aircraft overran the runway and became disabled in the grass. In a Facebook post a passenger complained that the airline’s evacuation procedure was very slow and many of them were short of breath as they were forced to wait in the aircraft for over an hour.
