but in the Bangkok Post article, it states the following:
"One-Two-Go's parent company, Orient Thai Airlines, resumed services on
Sept 20, when the department restored the operating licence of the airline that uses MD80 aircraft."
(my bold)
OTG may still be on the ground, but it looks like OT is in the clear for MD operations. I do not wish to defend Udom, but the DCA has reinstated the MD AOC for OT, just not for OTG as yet. We all know it is the same bucket of sh!t management running both airlines, however I suspect that the DCA has now mandated that the operations structure and manuals for OTG are more formally separated from that of OT, to better distinguish the two?
That will not fix what has happened or what is going to happen, it just means that the DCA has found a way to keep Udom's head above water long enough to ensure that before their golf memberships and cars get too old, they get new ones before too long.
