Thai Airways is re-certified after meeting ICAO safety standards
THE Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has announced that flag carrier, Thai Airways International, has again achieved certification that confirms the airline is able to conform with the international safety standards of the ICAO.
Thai Airways is the third Thai airline to receive its AOC recertification as part of CAAT's recertification programme, in partnership with CAA International (CAAi), the advisory arm of the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA).
CAAi was appointed by CAAT in 2016 to provide full-scale technical assistance, and capacity building in the recertification of all Thai registered international airlines and to support CAAT ahead of its next ICAO audit.
Managing director of CAAi, Maria Rueda, said: "Thai Airways is Thailand's largest airline, serving 80 destinations in 37 countries. We are delighted to have assisted CAAT in recertifying its flag carrier to ICAO standards, and we remain fully committed to supporting CAAT as we enter the next phase of this significant project."
Thailand is expected to be audited by ICAO later this year to address the Significant Safety Concern (SSC) finding in 2015. CAAi will be providing audit preparation assistance to CAAT to help resolve the SSC.
