The two KAI-made T-50THs for the Royal Thai Air Force, which were forced to divert to Kuantan, Malaysia on their way to Thailand due to extreme turbulence, will stay in Malaysia for two more weeks before they head home according to reports by local media.

The two aircraft were inspected after their landing in Malaysia and some damage was revealed. According to local media, it will take two weeks before both T-50THs leave for Thailand again. Although details of the damage were not revealed, Bangkok Post reported the engines were the most affected.
