[3] Following the crash of Flight 269 in Phuket, Thailand on 16 September 2007, One-Two-Go was banned from flying in European Union nations due to safety concerns.

Australia's Channel 9 broadcast a program in November 2007 which detailed accusations of maintenance fraud and specifically by CEO Udom Tantiprasongchai, coercion and bribery of pilots to fly excessive hours.

[8] The program contained an interview with lead Thai investigator Director-General Vuttichai Singhamany as he reviewed the daily flight rosters for One-Two-Go given to him by reporter Ferguson, documenting the Captain and First Officer's schedules showing that both pilots had flown beyond the legal limit for the week and for the month of the crash.

The United States National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report documented possible check ride fraud among four other One-Two-Go pilots in the months following the crash.

Coroner Fisher relied on a British aviation investigator, the NTSB, and Thai reports, and victim and family statements to make his conclusions.

On 16 September 2007, One-Two-Go Airlines Flight 269, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (registered as HS-OMG) flying from Bangkok with 123 passengers and seven crew members, crashed in strong winds and heavy rain after attempting to land at Phuket International Airport.
