Over a year ago the Thai DCA were given 12 months to sort out ‘issues’. The most significant was the ease at which AOCs were given out, often to operators who had just gone bankrupt and resurrected another airline after a quick respray.
EASA and the FAA have also made similar findings and I doubt that Prayut will be able to have much influence over what is likely to happen over the coming weeks and months.
Unfortunately the better operators are going to be caught up in the mess.
