July sees major increase in flights as aviation authority eases ban


Recommended Posts

That's well over 100 international flights a day, I'm surprised, I thought it would be more like 20 or 30. Or are they including the scheduled international flights that the airlines then cancelled? All the same, people affected by the amnesty ending next month can hardly claim to be "trapped" here.

I hope you are correct.....if not, that is an awful lot of people flooding in from God knows where. I see quite a few Chinese moving into my condo at the moment .....where the hell are they coming from???

Probably, made in China?

Why would they include flights that are just using Thai air space (1,991) , Gov and Military flights (7,883)

It's called massaging the figures to get headlines.

Probably trying to boost the numbers to make everything look better than it really is .

Flights don't mean squat.  Passengers entered through immigration is the valid number.

Yes, all this is smoke & mirrors for another audience. The immigration numbers would be important for us as you say.

7883 Gov,t and Military flights seems like an awful lot of Aviation Fuel used for little or no purpose.

Of the 17,765 International Flight, a large percentage of those will be Freight only flights, and repatriation Flights

Actual International flights with paying passengers near to ZERO

It would be good to see the actual paying passenger numbers that alighted in Swampy for a Holiday

( around a Dozen me thinks )

About 120 international flights a day. Probably includes incoming and outgoing, from Swampy, DM and CM? Not many. And likely the majority are FedEx, DHL and cargo. No specificity on international visitors. Means little. And what on earth deos the military need nearly 8,000 flights for? Just burning up the budget. What do those guys do, anyway? Any benefit to the nation, on any level? I understand some ground troops to keep out unwanted or infected (zombie) neighbors. But 2,200 generals? For what?
