Seminar on ICAO Red Flag

 

   

BANGKOK,  (NNT) - The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)’s Red Flag for Thailand was removed in 2017 after the Thai government had solved aviation safety problems. Thailand’s aviation measures have been upgraded to meet the international standards set by the ICAO.

 

In a seminar on the ICAO Red Flag, organized by Thammasat University on occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Marine Transport and Mercantile Shipping Act, Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand Director Chula Sukmanop said Thailand had solved the aviation safety problems and had the Red Flag removed in 2017 and the country’s aviation industry has grown to the extent that 35 airlines have already been given Air Operator Certificates and, combined, provide 3,000 flights daily.

 

About 400,000 airline passengers use Thailand’s airports daily. The effectiveness of Thailand’s aviation safety measures has increased to 65.07%, higher than the ICAO standards and is expected to rise to 70% next year after the Air Traffic Act came into effect last May.

 

The continual growth of the aviation industry has prompted Thailand to get prepared for troubleshooting measures on a sustainable basis. In addition to the upgraded aviation safety measures, more aviation inspectors are yet to be trained.

 

Thailand currently has 10 aviation inspectors, compared to only two in 2015, and will train 20 more aviation inspectors annually. In cooperation with ICAO, aviation personnel will undergo training courses so that Thailand may become a hub for regional aviation inspectors in the future.

They are the d!ckheads who refer to the Prime Minister in their reporting as the Premier. 

Seeing as we can't call him what he really is..I refer to him instead as "the democratic soldier"

Were any lessons learnt by the red flag? How long before they fall back again? 10 aviation inspectors for all of Thailand you are joking!

Thus, as a minimum Thailand is 50% short of aviation inspectors.

Well, Thailand didn't solve 100% of the problems.

ICAO requires a minimum implementation score of 60% and Thailand scored 65.07%. That's like passing with a D+ to C grade.

So Thailand has solved about 2/3's of its safety problems.

I hope the remaining 1/3 doesn't place travelers and aircraft crews in danger.
