I understand.

 

Maybe somone from the US Embassy in Bangkok, should go to UTP and HKT and observe what is happening with the Azure Boeing aircraft and report back to Assistant Secretary of Commerce Thea Rozman Kendler.

 

You can observe the flight paths in realtime at flightaware.com and other flight tracking websites. They show no stops between VKO and UTP. You can also see the previous 4 flights and their paths with altitude and speed, during the entire flight, no stops.

 

Maybe the US should start minding their own business and not police the whole world.

With Thai supplied part i'd be worried flying with them planes, 

Why?  Thailand has pretty good air safety record compared to many western countries and it's likely that they use the same (Boeing) parts when necessary.

Russian airline Azur Air is flying Boeing jets into and out of Thailand on a daily basis. These jets require parts and maintenance. Is Thailand supplying Boeing parts or maintenance services to Russian airlines? If they are, it would be contrary to USA sanctions. 

So what?  Thailand is not subject to US sanctions' restrictions on other countries.   Thailand does a lot of business with Russia and it has buggger-all to do with the sodding US or its sanctions.

Thailand could face imprisonment, fines, loss of export privileges and other restricting steps if Thailand provides spare parts, fuel and other services for the U.S.-made planes that are being used for flights to and from Russia

Nonsense.    When you were typing that did it not occur to you that your suggesting that a country could be "imprisoned" is not quite right?

Are these the leased planes stolen from the EU? If so they should be seized at any airport outside Russia.

Why?  If what you assert is true, who but the EU has authority to seize Russian planes?  Thailand sure doesn't and, as it is a substantial trading partner of Russia, would never do so (even if it could).

Apparently fueling Boeing aircraft owned/operated by Russian airlines qualifies for sanctions.

Thailand has not sanctioned Russia.   Thailand does not have to bow to EU sanctions on Russia.

Russian Boeing aircraft should not  be re-fueled or repaired in Thailand.

Nonsense.

Thailand and USA do have extradition treaty allowing people who are "wanted" in USA to be sent to USA to face legal proceedings.

Only if Thailand agrees to the extradition request, they're not mandatory demands and Thailand is not wanted by the US.

Why on earth would the US Embassy want to do that?

Before they start to look at Thailand supplying the odd aircraft part

They're not, and they won't.

It sounds like there was a serious incident at Phuket (HKT) yesterday involving an Azur Air aircraft, resulting in significant delays. Engine failure on take-off, aborted landing.

Translation from Thai aviation website:

 

 

Phuket hasn't recovered yet!! ️Boeing 767 Azur Air is obstructed and blocked Taxiway⛔️ both in/out flights, we have to wait longer than usual⚠️
Update on the latest situation at 21.50 p.m. On 4 February 2566???? from the Boeing plane incident. Russian Azur Air 767-300ER crashed while taking off Runway09 of Phuket Airport at around 16.55pm. In the past, the plane had to land on the road (Taxiway) along the runway. way️
According to a recent inspection, planes to land and board in Phuket are not available on this route ???? resulting in landing on the runway also having to taxis on the runway to enter the passenger building. This increases the step and time each plane has to wait for landing and take off. เครื่อง There have been accumulated delays in both incoming flights and outbound flights in Phuket. To wait for the runway to be empty and safe ✅
Flight route data images from Flightradar24 แล้ว platform show that planes arriving in Phuket have to wait and wait for a taxi on the way back to the parking area in front of the passenger building, which resulted in further flights waiting for empty runway to land or run longer. Some flights have decided to change routes to backup airports such as Krabi Airport. เส้น️

 

 

Azur Air 767 rejected take-off at Phuket, engine catches fire and tires explode

Will be interesting to see how this aircraft is "repaired".
