Thailand: THB271m to boost aviation safety
The cabinet Tuesday approved a budget of THB271.5m to speed up efforts to address aviation safety concerns, as proposed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand. Transport minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said the budget is divided into two chunks -- THB170m for hiring air safety experts from the UK and the rest to provide training for 69 CAAT personnel. CAAT has decided to hire a British aviation consultancy to help oversee the aviation security system, especially to carry out air safety inspections and grant Air Operator Certificates, and help it meet the requirements of the ICAO. He said the Budget Bureau and the CAAT, which has replaced the defunct Department of Civil Aviation, are expected to hold talks about budget allocation details. <br/>
