A Thai AirAsia X Airbus A330-300, registration HS-XTG performing flight
XJ-701 from Seoul (South Korea) to Bangkok (Thailand), was enroute at FL400 about 160nm southeast of Hong Kong (China) when the crew descended the aircraft to FL340 and subsequently decided to divert to Hong Kong reporting possible engine (Trent 772) problems, no assistance was needed. The aircraft landed safely on Hong Kong's runway 25R about 45 minutes after leaving FL400.
The aircraft remained on the ground for about 12.5 hours then continued the flight and reached Bangkok with a delay of about 13 hours. The aircraft continued service with a flight to Osaka (Japan) but needed to again divert due to a similiar engine problem, see Incident: Thai Asia X A333 near Hong Kong on Apr 15th 2024, engine problem again.
