Thailand red flag lifted on ICAO website
The ICAO has lifted the “red flag” status on Thailand, according to information on its website. Chula Sukmanop, director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, said he had been alerted to the change on the ICAO website but had yet to confirm it with the UN agency, which reportedly discussed the issue Friday. If the decision is confirmed, Thai airlines can seek new destinations, especially in Japan and South Korea. The Thai aviation industry will also gain more international acceptance in terms of safety, and foreign airlines will make more stops and expand services. Thai aviation safety standards have been in doubt since the country was red-flagged by the UN's aviation watchdog in June 2015. Chula had said his office had corrected the flaws raised by the ICAO . <br/>
