Wednesday, 5 August 20093 min read

Koh Samui airport in Thailand has re-opened following the crash of a Bangkok Airways aircraft which left a pilot dead.

The airport re-opened at 14.00 local time after the accident yesterday which saw an ATR-72 turboprop with 68 passengers and four crew skid off the runway and hit an old air traffic control tower during an attempt to land during a storm (see previous TravelMole story).
Five passengers suffered serious injuries and two others had minor injuries.
Four Britons are reported to be among those injured.
