- Date: September 16, 2007
- Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas MD-82
- Location: Phuket, Phuket, Thailand
- Fatalities: 90
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew did not follow stabilized approach and go-around procedures, and the TO/GA switch was not pressed. Poor crew coordination, fatigue, and a sudden weather change near the airport were contributing factors.
One-Two-Go Airlines flight OG269 from Bangkok to Phuket was landing in heavy rain when the crew attempted a go-around. The aircraft did not climb as expected, veered off the runway and hit an embankment beside runway 27, where it broke up in flames. Ninety people died, including five crew, and 40 others were rescued.
