The Peace and Order Maintaining Council issued a statement banning the assembly of more than five persons in public places. It said any assembly of more than five persons is illegal and will face a prison term of up to one year.

COUP D'ETAT
AOT maintains normal operations
The Nation

Airports of Thailand Chairman Sita Divari insisted that all six airports under the company's supervision will operate as usual, until further notice.

"All passengers will be informed of our normal operations," he said.

AOT President Mekin Petplai is also assigned to clarify the current situation in Thailand to foreign airlines, to maintain confidence among passengers.

Today, AOT’s board of directors just approved the "Airport City" commercial project at Don Mueang International Airport and Phuket International Airport, worth Bt18 billion. It also approved another Bt46 billion to expand the six airports.

Sita noted that AOT would proceed with the investment projects, if there is no suspension order from the new government.
