A NewGen Airways Boeing 737-800, registration HS-NGE performing flight E3-865 from Bangkok Don Muang (Thailand) to Wuxi (China), was in the initial climb out of Don Muang’s runway 21R when the crew stopped the climb at about 10,000 feet due to dense smoke in the cabin and returned to Don Muang for a safe landing on runway 21R about 15 minutes after departure. There are no reports of injuries.

The aircraft returned to service about 22 hours after landing back following a test flight.
