THAI Clarifies the Delay of TG Flights

The Public Relations Office of Thai Airways International Public Company Limited provided the following clarification about changes in THAI’s flight operations on both domestic and international flight departures and arrivals on February 2, 2001 due to poor climate caused by thick fog that spread over the Bangkok International Airport area. Visibility of approximately 50-100 meters made it difficult for THAI’s flights to take off and land at the airport. Temporary changes to THAI’s flight schedule were as follows:
