Mr. Pichate Satirachaval, Deputy Minister of Transport, together with Mr.
Kanok Abhiradee, President, Thai Airways International, recently chaired the
opening of the “Children Travel the Sky” project at the Domestic Building of
Bangkok International Airport. The “Children Travel the Sky” project was

experience to over 200 children, in conjunction with various children’s
activities and entertainment being held on this occasion.
According to Mr. Kanok Abhiradee, the “Children Travel the Sky” project aims
to provide children in various foundations with the opportunity to travel on an
airplane, as well as become familiarized with inflight operations and cabin
crew duties on board. Passengers on THAI’s special flight for “Children Travel
in the Sky” project included over 200 children from Satiendhamma Satarn
Foundation, Duang Pratheep Foundation, Orphanage Support Foundation, the School for the Blind of Thailand and Slum Infant Foundation, which flew a

Hin. The flight time took one hour and fifteen minutes. In addition, children’s
