Are thai airways about to start flights again to Australia from October 1st. Has this been confirmed in Thailand

[wordchild]

The news report that i read suggested that they would start "selling tickets"  to certain destinations from Oct 1st; travel dates not confirmed as yet.

   I doubt many people will be rushing to book tickets with them given;

       1) would you really want to fly on a plane that has sat on the tarmac for 18 months,   piloted by a crew that have, until recently, been buzzing around Bangkok in their Grab jackets?

      2) And also considering  how badly they have treated (former) customers who had flights booked and paid for that were cancelled due to Covid.  They have given only  very limited customer refunds to date, one of the worst of the world airlines in that respect.

Don't book or buy any ticket to Oz until you'll be 100% sure what is going on once you land in Australia, 100% sure, not 99%, as they move the goal posts there twice a day..
