    So it would be prudent to stay away from Thai or another Thailand based airline? Star Alliance is a big group, Includes Air Canada.

      ICAO red-flags Thailand's aviation safety standard
      Amornrat Mahitthirook
      18/06/2015

      The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) on Thursday "red flagged" Thailand for failing to solve significant safety concerns (SSC) on aviation standards within the 90-day deadline after receiving a warning.



      A red flag is seen alongside Thailand's name on ICAO's list of audited states.

      The red flag symbol is shown on this list of countries audited http://www.icao.int/safety/Pages/USOAP-Results.aspx

      The action follows an audit by representatives of the UN agency of the Department of Civil Aviation's air transport safety certification for Thai-registered airlines in February.

      In March it warned Thai civil aviation authorities about substandard certification and gave the department 90 days to meet its standards.

      The ICAO found conflict of interest in that the department as it is both the regulator and the operator of provincial airports in the country. It also warned of insufficient inspection personnel and leniency in issuing air transport licences.

      Significant safety concerns (SSC) indicated that the state was not providing sufficient safety oversight to ensure the effective implementation of applicable ICAO standards, the organisation said.

      A transport source said on Thursday that the red flag might not lead to any more adverse results because the international community was already aware that Thai authorities were improving their aviation certification standards. This included reviews of all certificates of Thai-registered airlines and the training of personnel and should be completed this October.

      The source said the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) would make an announcement on the issue on June 25, but a ban on Thai airlines' flights to Europe was unlikely because Thai Airways International (THAI) was the only Thai-registered airline flying to Europe and EASA was already checking on THAI.


      THAI president Charamporn Jotikasthira gives an assurance on safety standards.

      THAI president Charamporn Jotikasthira said the ICAO's red flag symbol indicated that the Department of Civil Aviation's supervision on aviation safety had not met the ICAO's standards, but that did not mean air navigation services, airlines, aircraft and airports of Thailand were substandard.

      THAI always maintained a high safety standard and obtained certification from international organisations concerning aviation safety, including EASA, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau, and the International Air Transport Association, he said.

      Recently the Economic Intelligence Centre of Siam Commercial Bank warned a red flag could cause international aviation agencies to re-evaluate the safety of Thai aviation facilities.

      "If Thailand's air safety rating is downgraded by international aviation agencies, Thai airlines will face the loss of goodwill, higher operating costs, and increasing competition from foreign carriers," the centre wrote.

      "Charter carriers will lose out as their operating licences are issued on a case-by-case basis. Full service airlines and medium haul low cost carriers will experience setbacks in their growth plans from the inability to establish new routes or increase their flight frequencies," it stated.

      The other 12 states with red flags on the ICAO's 187 member-countries list are: Angola, Botswana, Djibouti, Eritrea, Georgia, Haiti, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Malawi, Nepal, Sierra Leone and Uruguay.
