An MD 11 of Thai Airways was obliged to interrupt its flight and dump fuel after taking off from Zurich for Bangkok on 1 June 2005. The fuel was jettisoned between 1415 h and 1435 h CET in the Schwenningen / Schluchsee region. The dumped fuel evaporates in the air and, as numerous studies have shown, poses no threat to either the environment or people on the ground. Skyguide is a non-profit, limited company under private law. | |
