Well then tell me why Yinn, the Chinese shut out the two flights and Thailand from flying in for the next week if no one deplaned in Thailand as they were transit flights. 

Because some countrys very serious about covid. China successful reduce covid a lot. 

Other countrys the people still fighting wear the mask etc 10,000++++ dead.

Additionally, Why do we never hear of others unlike the Cambodians who were sent back as testing positive.  Could it be that that news is also filtered at the highest levels.  

 

You see news yesterday?? 

Prayut admit he wrong, he sorry about the Rayong problem. 

 

Thai is united together fight covid. Covid is not “politics” issue in Thailand. Is a virus. 

Other countrys fight left and right, fight statues etc etc. so stupid!

Virus not care politics.

 

Many TVF members try to spread fake news about covid in Thailand 4/5 month already. Everyday. 

 

We want the virus finish quickly. Have life, economy again. Some countrys stupid and make covid worse. 

 

The Thai government can not control social media. Sure. 

Probably some in thailand have covid, not know about it. Is why still wear mask in shop, test temperature, thaichana app etc

 

The government NOT say thailand have no covid. They say must be careful. Safety first.

 

Foreigners live in Thailand. Please follow the rules, wear a mask, wash hands, social distance. 1 million new infection last 5 days the world. 

Please help together.

 

The USA/UK now admit masks effective for spread. Deny first 5 month. Politics. Stupid!

No they just say that there have been No Domestic Cases and only those found have been from returnees in Quarantine.  It will be curious to see with all those tested in Rayon if we hear of anyone testing positive but being Asymptomatic.  Thailand needs to offer up testing for those who would like to see if they have it and are asymptomatic.

Testing means testing those that want to be tested and not just those who are repatriated or appear to be sick Yinn.  Opening up testing locations in all provinces, doing anti-body checks and following those that are just asymptomatic....

 

However, I have just gone off topic and apologize to the OP.

 

China needs to explain in more details as to the reasoning behind the suspension of flights for the two airlines as the OP indicates.  It will be interesting to see the actual details as to why!

A friend of mine with a temperature of 38.5 and a cough and went to a Government Hospital. He was given codeine and told to sign a form confirming that he didn't have covid19. He wasn't given a covid19 test! How would he know that he didn't have covid19. The hospital explained that they had no test kits available.

I am just wondering why would China ban Thai planes from landing, because if these were transit flights that makes little sense. 

Because these  flights originate elsewhere but transit  through Thailand? It is the origin  that is the issue, not Thailand.

A couple of facts concerning transit flighT's.   Years ago I was travelling from Swampy by Air France plane to Phnom Penh. The flight originated in Paris.  People got off for Thailand but quite a few stayed on board to go to Phnom Penh.  Maybe they were told to stay on board???  Contrast that with Jetstar flights through Singapore where everyone got off,  walked all the way around the terminal to the Bangkok bound connect.  Some may have gone to other destinations but a lot from my flight were heading to Bangkok.  Wandering into cafes and duty free shop....

BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) -- China's civil aviation regulator has announced that a Thai Lion Air's Bangkok-Guangzhou flight, as well as a Thai AirAsia X's Bangkok-Tianjin flight, would be suspended after several passengers tested positive for COVID-19 on recent flights.

 

Six passengers tested positive on Thai Lion Air's SL117 flight on July 7, while there were five positive cases on Thai AirAsia X's XJ808 flight on July 10, according to a statement posted Wednesday on the website of the Civil Aviation Administration of China

oh dear - lets see if they can explain that one away

 

 

Like I have been saying for months now - Thailands data is correct since they don't test anyone - dead or alive - so yes - zero detected cases is accurate but extremely misleading 

[smedly]

IMO this has been going on for some time and China has kept quiet about it until now - it seems they couldn't continue with the Thai charade any longer, a very big diplomatic step and one I am sure Thailand's government  didn't want revealed to the public

Here is link the real story.

https://thai.ac/news/show/471850

 

Fake news is indeed a big problem. 

 

Your link to 'the real story' quotes anonymous sources at the two airlines. In the case of the Air Asia flight, it says: "ขณะที่แหล่งข่าวจากสายการบินไทยแอร์เอเชีย เอ็กซ์เปิดเผยว่า เที่ยวบินดังกล่าวมาจากมาเลเซีย-มะนิลา-ไทย-เทียนจิน ผู้โดยสารไม่ได้ลงจากเครื่องและไม่ได้เข้ามาที่อาคารผู้โดยสารในประเทศ" which I will translate as "while a source from Thai AirAsiaX revealed that the flight in question came from Malaysia-Manila-Thailand-Tianjin. Passengers did not get off the aircraft and did not come into the terminal building" [the pedant in me would add that it's a bit pointless to say they didn't come into the building, if also saying they didn't get off the plane].

 

For some reason, though, flight tracker web sites show this flight XJ808 as originating in Bangkok. This flight seems to have been a new addition to the AirAsiaX schedule in May 2019:

 

"Thai AirAsia X from May 2019 is adding new route to China, which sees the launch of Bangkok Don Mueang – Tianjin service. From 03MAY19, Airbus A330-300 aircraft will operate this route 3 times a week (Day 245), increasing to 4 weekly from 02JUN19.

XJ808 DMK1555 – 2140TSN 333 x136
XJ809 TSN2240 – 0215+1DMK 333 x136"

https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/283315/thai-airasia-x-adds-tianjin-service-from-may-2019/

 

"XJ" is the IATA code for Thai AirAsia X. More to the point, XJ808 was operated on 10 July 2020 by a Thai-registered A330, HS-XTE. If an aircraft is on the Thai CAA Register it is based in Thailand and the crew will be a Thai crew (unless there's an expat pilot).

 

That aircraft is showing as having indeed come from KL the same day ... but after flying there from Bangkok. It then appears to have sat around at Don Mueang before the flight to/from Tianjin.

 

 

https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/hs-xte

 

It may be it flew to KL to pick up passengers who did not de-plane in Bangkok, and did not pick up any more passengers in Bangkok, but the flight crew presumably are all Thailand-based and have now been exposed to infected people.

don't hold your breath

 

she is very good at quoting accurate data from countries that actually test and report on the situation

 

No detections is only meaningful if it includes testing data numbers and that includes both the living population and those that have died - the daily covid report they keep publishing is quite frankly useless and meaningless

China must be upset with Thailand about something otherwise they wouldn't have gone public.

Could it be this? Tit for Tat maybe?

Yinn my father in law in Thailand had all the symptoms for covid and ended up dying after weeks in hospital, yet they refused to test him for it. Even to rule it out. So stop with the BS

 

Thailand is ranked 138th for covid testing per 1mil population

https://www.thansettakij.com/content/business/442086 via Googlen  translate:

 

With passengers coming with Thai AirAsia X XJ808 flights in the Don Mueang-Tianjin route 5 people were infected with Covid, while the passengers on Thai Lion Air Flight SL117 on the Bangkok-Guangzhou route on 7 July 2020 were infected with 6 people.
 

Following this, it was found that the services of both airlines are charter flights. That fly to carry passengers Which is Chinese From Kuala Lumpur And Jakarta returned to his domicile

However, both of the above routes Originated from Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta But since both of the above mentioned cities Does not have the right to fly into Tianjin and Guangzhou of China, causing to fly into Bangkok to use the rights that both airlines have Continue flying to China. Under the new flight code starting from Thailand to China Which passengers did not leave the plane to Bangkok or change to a new plane in any way But only on the plane And not receiving passengers from Thailand in any way, it is assumed that all 11 people are infected from the country of origin
 

Thai Air Asia X revealed to the "economic base" that the said flight Is a charter flight Type of passenger transport to China In which the said plane With a departure point, beginning to fly from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia With flight XJ325 But from Kuala Lumpur does not have the right to fly to Tianjin. Therefore flew into Thailand using our flying rights to fly into Tianjin Change new flight code to XJ 808.

Yeah, right, only near 13 million tests less than the uk. test less, you get less positive results, pretty simple logic really. you OWN logic dictates if they tested same UK they'd have over 60,000 cases based at 3000 per 600000

Looks like these were transit flights and no one got the planes according to Richard Barrow.

But why were these covid+ passengers allowed on board in the first instance at whatever port of embarkation
