THAI Makes Flight Adjustments During Loy Krathong Floating Lantern Festival

Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI) announced flight schedule adjustments and temporary suspension of flights to the North during the Loy Krathong Floating Lantern Festival. Dr. Sorajak Kasemsuwan, THAI President, said that during 27-29 November 2012, people in the northern provinces will participate in the tradition of releasing floating lanterns during the Loy Krathong Festival. As floating lanterns are released at night, THAI is adjusting its flight schedule and temporarily suspending certain flights on the Bangkok-Chiang Mai-Bangkok route and Bangkok-Chiang Rai-Bangkok route as a precautionary measure to avoid floating lanterns being suctioned into airplane engines.
