ICAO PROGRESS REPORT EXPECTED THURSDAY
Play
Transport Minister Prajin Juntong has said the International Civil Aviation Organisation will report the progress of its investigation into Thailand's aviation industry on Thursday.
The ministry submitted information on its plans to resolve issues in the industry in April after the ICAO’s February declaration that Thailand’s aviation safety did not meet international standards. That had resulted in several airlines registered in Thailand being barred from flying to Japan and South Korea during April and May.
Over the past few months, the authorities have met with the ICAO in Canada.
Prajin said there were three likely scenarios to come out of the progress report – the ICAO approves the plans, it rejects the plans, or it continues its investigation.
The ministry may hold press conference on Thursday.
