Thailand’s aviation sector nearing full recovery, says CAAT
Thailand’s aviation sector is set to recover to pre-pandemic levels in 2024, with passenger numbers expected to reach 25 million, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT). While 2019 saw 165 million passengers, 2024 has recorded an 85% recovery at 140 million. Delays in Chinese tourist returns and aircraft shortages have slowed growth, prompting airlines to lease aircraft under eased regulations. Thailand aims to rank 9th in global aviation by 2033, up from 19th. CAAT is also working to regain FAA Category 1 certification, which would allow Thai airlines to expand flights to the US and key Asian markets.
That's why God invented marinading. Or maybe it was the Mexicans. Either way, they make an excellent meal out of cheap leathery meat. Fajitas of carne asada. Yum.
Jailed Chinese tycoon accuses Thai officials of mistreatment
She Zhijiang, a high-profile Chinese inmate and alleged scam network leader, has accused Thai officials of mistreatment at Bangkok Remand Prison. Arrested in 2022, he faces extradition to China but has appealed the order. His lawyer claims he was harassed, held in solitary confinement, shackled, and denied medical care after speaking to Al Jazeera, alleging China once asked him to spy. Thai authorities deny the claims, stating he was moved to Klong Prem Central Prison due to rule violations and emphasizing that he receives standard inmate rights, including medical care and letter correspondence. INTERPOL has been contacted for assistance.
