BANGKOK, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- A flight of Thailand's flagship air company was aborted before departing from capital Bangkok for northern city Chiang Mai on Tuesday, for which a failing hydraulic system to blame, according to a THAI statement.

    Flight TG106 of Thai Airways International (THAI), due to depart Bangkok from Suvarnabhumi Airport at 10:20 a.m. local time for Chiang Mai, was canceled after a technical problem forced THAI to abort the flight and reassign its passengers to a new aircraft,which with all passengers on board left the airport at 11:45 a.m. local time and had safely landed in Chiang Mai International Airport, the statement said.
