BANGKOK, Dec 1 (TNA) – Thailand's national carrier THAI Airways starts operation on Monday to pick up passengers at U-Tapao airport after the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) allowed aircraft to take off from Suvarnabhumi Airport, according to acting THAI president Narongsak Sangapong.
However, all passengers must rebook the flights, he said.
Of 30 THAI Airways aircraft, about 15 planes will serve passengers at U-Tapao airport, 190 kilometres southeast of Bangkok.
In cooperation with the Immigration Bureau and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Airports of Thailand (AoT) has opened check-in counters for international passengers transiting U-Tapao Airport at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC) in Bang Na in eastern suburban Bangkok after the airport was crowded with stranded passengers.
