HS-TUA flew as TG916 on 5. April to LHR but did not return, so TG917 was cancelled on 5. April. It did return to BKK on 8. April

TG911 delayed nearly 6 hours at London Heathrow.
25th of July this year me and my family were flying from London Heathrow to Bangkok on TG911, One of Thai’s a380’s. At the boarding time of 11.45 we were told that there was a technical issue with the aircraft and that the engineers were looking at it. Around an hour or so later they said they’re now waiting for a new part from their supplier to be delivered and proceeded to hand out food and drinks vouchers. Eventually at 4pm we boarded but the part was still being fitted. We were sat on the ground for about an hour, maybe more. To me this was an experience but of course you get the complaints from business class passengers saying “if this plane doesn’t start moving in ten minutes, I’m walking!” You know? The usual.
From reading this thread there was problems with the same aircraft last year as well? Can anyone elaborate on this?
