Thailand: CAAT to issue licences to 2 new airlines
Authorities are planning to issue air operating licences to 2 new airlines after a red flag over Thai aviation problems, issued by the global civil aviation body, was lifted early last month. Thailand is now poised to expand its aviation industry which earlier came under strict monitoring after the country was red-flagged in June, 2015 by the ICAO for its failure to meet aviation safety standards. "Now we can increase the number of new airlines," CAAT chief Chula Sukmanop said, adding the increase will benefit the rapid growth of commercial air travel. Recently 2 new airline operators have asked the CAAT to grant them AOLs for starting their services on domestic routes. Their requests will be considered this month by a committee before being forwarded to Transport minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith for a final say. <br/>
