Video: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your private aircraft!

A Thai Airways air hostess posted a video on Facebook of a flight from the Norwegian capital Oslo to Bangkok. 

 

There were just two passengers so the pilot kindly invited them up to Business Class, said Nattavan Thongtham NaAyudhaya.

 

Cabin crew suggested they sit two rows apart but because they knew each other they were allowed to occupy rows next to each other.

 

They appeared to be Thais and were lucky ones to have got out of Norway after obtaining the necessary health documentation. 

 

The air hostess was told that the passengers needed to go to a nearby city because the wait to see a doctor in Oslo was three days. 

 

Reports elsewhere on Thaivisa suggest that Thais have been left stranded abroad after being unable to get "fit to fly" and intention to travel documents from the authorities in the countries where they wanted to board aircraft. 

 

Sanook's caption in their story spoke of the two passengers being in their private aircraft.

...just park the food trolley right here and i will help myself young man.

Just 2 Thai passengers on the plane - what a huge loss for THAI. Were these 2 passengers associated with THAI employees and on a "Freebie"???

I am not so sure that International law can prohibit a National of any country returning to his home country.

What they do with them once arrived is a different story.

The "fit to fly" letter was a Thai Airlines thing ?

I do not believe all the illegal returnees from S korea had the letter.

I noticed that in KL they had Doctors at both airports checking & issuing the letters.

You cannot get much more up to date than that

familiar?

Fit to fly was implemented by TAT. Makes it extremely difficult to get back and is applied to any international airline operating into Thailand.

Qatar Airways hiked their prices up,Perth to UK AUD$2700 1 way. You would need to be mad to even think about booking a flight anywhere,at any price! It will be interesting to see how many of the Airlines are still in the air after this,Thai must be a favourite to go to the wall,with their previous loss disclosure,then this virus!

The TAT is the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the government's tourism marketing arm.  They can't implement anything like this.  It was a Civil Aviation Authority order.

 

LoL, that was often the scenario when flying from Naypyitaw (Myanmar) back to Bangkok.  Airport in Naypyitaw and plane were deserted.....

Click bait NO video !
