According to her, the incident occurred when the plane flying from the island of Phuket flew in the Somali region over an area allegedly under the control of the Houthis.

The instructions received through the communication system differed from the route. Sensing something was wrong, the pilots decided to ignore them and switched to alternative means of communication. After checking the data with other air traffic controllers, they realized that they were being misled.

Earlier it was reported about a plane with 17 passengers on board, which landed on a beach in Mexico and hit a person.
