Thailand: CAAT lifts food and drinks ban on domestic flights
The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has lifted its ban on food and drinks served on domestic flights, according to the authority's director-general Chula Sukmanop. In its latest announcement on Thursday, the CAAT added that its ban on the sale of souvenirs has also been removed. However, the CAAT maintains that airlines must continue to follow the health and safety regulations issued by relevant authorities. The announcement came months after commercial flights were suspended at the end of April due to the escalating outbreak of Covid-19. The CAAT then allowed domestic flights to resume on May 1, although airlines were barred from serving food and drinks on board for flights that did not exceed two hours. The majority of domestic flights in Thailand are under two hours.<br/>
