I know that it has been discussed ad naus.and we all knew about it but got this from one of my contacts....

Phuket Air Suspends Flights to the UK

As a consequence to the Tsunami and the increase in fuel prices, Phuket Air have announced that they will suspend their flights to the UK as of April 23, 2005.

Following the decision, all passengers currently holding Phuket Air tickets and have not yet departed the UK are entitled to a full refund, alternatively Phuket Air have advised that they will protect all issued tickets on an alternative carrier, which has yet to be confirmed.

For passengers that have already departed the UK and are returning on flights booked after the 22nd April 2005, Phuket Air head Office will automatically protect them on alternative carriers.

For all passengers already in Thailand and want to contact Phuket Air, please call 66 2679 8999.

sounds like a 'face saving' announcement before the uk aviation authorities ground them due to unsafe operating practices.
