PM urges Thais to be proud of margin by which country passed recent ICAO inspection

By The Nation

 

 

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday said Thais should be proud that the country had passed an inspection by the International Civil Aviation Organisation [ICAO] with a higher score than standard.

 

An ICAO team, which conducted an inspection of Thailand’s civil aviation standard from May 13-22, said the country had achieved an effective implementation of standards score of 65.07 per cent. 

 

The minimum pass threshold set by the United Nations’ aviation watchdog is 60 per cent. 

 

“The score is high and should be regarded as an example that we follow the rules and regulations of the ICAO. Everyone should be proud, [along] with me,” the PM said. 

 

The ICAO had put a red flag on Thailand in 2015, and raised 33 significant safety concerns after checking aviation safety standards. 

 

The red flag was removed in October 2017.

Scrapped through after being previously being given a red flag and Thais are asked to be proud about it. Just shows how little they have to be proud of, pathetic.

THAI got 65.5 while Ghana topped the Africian countries with 89.89!

Meanwhile at the FAA in Feb 2109 using the same criteria as the ICAO

" Thailand’s aviation authorities must address more oversight concerns before the FAA will agree to restore the country’s safety rating. The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) said the FAA has identified 26 defects that must be resolved for the US agency to upgrade Thailand’s safety rating to Category 1. The upgrade is required for Thai carriers to begin flights to the US or codeshare with US airlines. "

No safety issues at Phuket airport.....?

 

[fishtank]

[Dave67]

What an achievement will done Thailand

[Oziex1]

Oh dear, after many years of being below the safety standards they finaly catch up. 

A cause for national shame , not pride.

Look at Chiang Mai election, or education system

 

Extra effort won't get away without appropriate punishment

Everyone's stupidity/patience

[wisperone]

So now in addition to being the least miserable of miserable countries, Thailand is about the best of the worst in airlines. Yay, we didn't flunk!

[jerojero]

The score is high? No, it's barely a pass. Sheesh!

[PatOngo]

If this is something for Thais to be proud of, they should be utterly disgusted and ashamed of the electoral system!

[mikebell]

Let's face it, he's not got much to be proud of; this smacks of self-publicising - he's still in Election mode.

[graemeaylward]

This is typical of the Thai Education system! If the pass mark in anything is 60% and someone gets 61%, that is a GREAT success, 62% is FANTASTIC, 63% is an AMAZING achievement, etc, etc! Meanwhile in the real world 65% is seen as scraping through and 90% would be seen as good! :-)

But That's  been an "overwhelming"  success!! Just ask the Junta, for God's  sake  don't ask any Thais  though.

Why is the PM proud about it ?  It has been during his time as PM that the safety standard has been way below standard and he done nothing about it ! So who should take the small amount of credit for the change ??  Certainly not the government.

Typical behaviour by every politician anywhere in the world I'd have thought

[1duckyboy]

"Proud" When I was in school, 65% was a "D" = unsatisfactory but not an "F" = flunking.

Some troll posts have been removed.

If it was a requirement that a Thai airline must be profitable, some wouldn't pass ICAO inspection.

 

[Cabradelmar]

The gold standard is FAA. Anything else is is less and should concern all flyers.

[BobBKK]

"we follow the rules and regulations of the ICAO"  pity he doesn't feel as much pride in following the rules of democracy

[Tropposurfer]

65 odd percent ... I won’t be flying this airways that’s for sure.
