Hiring of foreign aviation experts to be speeded up
Play
A fast-track recruitment of foreign aviation experts will be completed within a month so they can help Thai-registered aircraft meet international standards.
The Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) and other related agencies were ordered to outsource the work to experts since there are around 400 aircraft that need to be inspected.
Deputy Premier Prawit Wongsuwan issued the order Friday after an emergency meeting with aviation safety officials following the US Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) downgrading of Thailand’s status to Category 2 from Category 1 on Tuesday.
