Seems like the Poo Air Jumbo that was grounded at Gatwick may be on the move again.

any one heard any news on their international routes re-starting?

I certainly hope not. The airplanes on the move may be due to airport charges being paid off and liens removed. I don't know if the safety concerns have been addressed yet.

NO, newspapers clearly stated that the owner, a big hotel-owner in RANONG, will only run the BKK-Ranong, as they started with (notwithstanding their name).

They later flew on hire for SAUDI and some Korean airline, on a contract (Saudi likely for the HADJ=pilgrim peak times), untill the planes can be sold off at not too big a loss. I still think safety was more UK-gutterpress uproar as real, ditto as LAO airls still keeps to be named as unsafe.

Isn't he still the Senator for Ranong as well - Khun Vikrom?

Probably the same one I saw - at the air base at Don Muang. Cheaper to host it there, me thinks.

.... a big hotel-owner in RANONG....

HAAAA

Hotel owner. Basically its the biggest building in Ranong, its massive and pretty central but is a giant skeleton of concreate and has been so for years. I heard he has his workers laying 1 brick a day just so the project doesnt get canceled and so his investors still have to pay or something. I think this is the guy that owns the nearby casino in Burma as well, and thats headed downhill as well. I knew some farangs that worked there and they all got canned.
