Thailand is ready for the US Federal Aviation Administration's inspection on aviation standards and compliance, said Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith.
The FAA is scheduled to inspect the standards and compliance during October 26-28.
Arkhom noted that all the 35 points raised by the FAA have been addressed, in line with the improvement plan submitted earlier to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The Royal Thai Air Force also helps in boosting personnel efficiency.
The FAA is the national aviation authority of the United States, tasked to inspect all airlines operating flights to the country.
No airlines registered in Thailand operate flights to the US, following Thai Airways International's termination of the Bangkok-Seoul-Los Angeles route.
Arkhom added that THAI is ready for the European Aviation Safety Agency's inspection next month.
