Nok Air vows problem-free return to operations

Nok Air says there will be no more problems once it gets back up to speed.

That assurance was delivered Friday by Patee Sarasin, chief executive officer of the budget airline. 
In a statement to all customers, Nok Air apologised for the inconvenience caused by flight cancellations since February 14, when a group of pilots went on strike. A week later, at least 17 pilots resigned from the airline. 
The airline said it was solving its internal problems and seeking more pilots and should return to full operations soon. 
According to the statement, the airline is planning to extend its cooperation with European airlines and will improve airline’s standards to meet those of the European Aviation Safety Agency.
Meanwhile, the website www.donmeungairportthai.com reported that the airline cancelled 61 flights scheduled to depart from or arrive at Don Mueang Airport on Friday. An airline official said these cancellation plans had been announced earlier.
