Bangkok: A Thai Airways carrying more about 302 passengers and crew on board skidded off the runway while attempting to land at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, injuring 14 passengers, reported Russian Today quoting the airline.

Thai Airways President Sorajak Kasemsuvan in a statement said that, "After touchdown at Suvarnabhumi Airport, the landing gear malfunctioned and caused the aircraft to skid off the runway. Sparks were noticed from the vicinity of the right landing gear near the engine; the matter is under investigation,". 

Most of the injuries occurred as passengers evacuated the aircraft, the statement said.
