'There was this damp smell, like something was leaking,' said a passenger.
A Scoot flight bound for Singapore from Bangkok was forced to return to the Thai capital on Monday due to a technical fault.
Scoot clarified that the smoke in the cabin was water vapour from air-conditioning and unrelated to the technical fault. There were 230 passengers and eight crew members on board the aircraft, said the spokesman, adding that passengers were given refreshments upon landing in Bangkok at 5.09pm local time.
One passenger, who wanted to be known only as Mr Kumar, told ST that the pilot announced 30 minutes into the flight that there was a ventilation issue and they needed to turn back.
