Thai Airways re-certified to international standards

The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has announced that flag carrier, Thai Airways International has been successfully re-certified to the international safety standards of ICAO. Thai Airways is the third of Thailand’s international airlines to receive its AOC re-certification as part of CAAT’s re-certification program, in partnership with CAA International (CAAi), the advisory arm of the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA). Dr Chula Sukmanop, Director General of CAAT said, “Thai Airways has long been regarded as the national carrier. The success today should have a significant impact, not only on the company itself but also in the overall confidence of passengers who plan to visit Thailand with Thai carriers.” CAAi was appointed by CAAT in 2016 to provide full-scale technical assistance, and capacity building in the re-certification of all Thai registered international airlines and to support CAAT ahead of its next ICAO audit.
