Broken aircon on Qatar Airways flight has passengers including Thai muay thai team melting

BANGKOK: Members of the Thai Muay Thai team returning from the world championships were among passengers on a Qatar Airways flight who endured three hours without airconditioning while the plane waited on the tarmac at Athens airport.

Passengers on the flight scheduled to head to Doha on Monday (June 10) nearly suffocated after the plane’s air-conditioning system stopped working while it was waiting to take off.
