Aircraft will be allowed to take off and land at airports between 7am and 7pm as part of efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19, Chula Sukmanop, director-general of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, said on Sunday (May 3).

 

Airports that have reopened for domestic flights are: Phitsanulok, Phrae, Mae Sot in Mae Hong Son province, and Lampang province.

 

Airports for both domestic and international flights are: Khon Kaen, Nakhon Phanom, Buri Ram, Roi Et, Loei, Sakon Nakhon, Udon Thani, Ubon Ratchathani, Chumphon, Trang, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Ranong.

 

The government has eased some lockdown restrictions but has urged people to avoid inter-provincial travell unless there are urgent reasons. The government also extended the ban on incoming International flights until the end of May, except for some special flights allowed by the authorities.

 

Special flights that are allowed include state or military aircraft, emergency landing, technical landing, humanitarian aid, medical and relief flights, repatriation of Thai nationals and cargo aircraft. Thailand also maintains a state of emergency, and night curfew from 10pm to 4am.

People aren’t going to fly to Provinces that require a 14 day quarantine after they arrive.  People will go by some form of land transport.

Nor to a Province like Phitsanulok where the booze ban is still in place. I can't remember how many flights there were PTS to DMK between 7pm and 7am before the virus,........... not many.

Make sure the pilots keep to the aviation curfew (which, of course, has different hours than the rest from the mouths of the funny-rules-announcers) or the airline will face a fine! 

Who goes to jail, the airline owner, the bank financing the planes, the board or the captain?

As you clicked the "confused" EMOJI i thought to clarify.  Staying inside for long periods of time weaken (misspelled above) one's immune system.  Just like your body needs physical exercise or you become weak, your immune system needs to be continually tested or it becomes less effective.    So prolonging the quarantine, some experts suggest (and i agree), will make individuals more susceptible to illness once its lifted.   Humans are not designed to be indoors for great lengths of time.  People need fresh air, sunshine, and yes, exposure to bacteria and viruses.
