This week, a delegation from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand visited the UK to explore the country’s approach to aviation economic regulation. Hosted by CAA International (CAAi), the visit featured a series of workshops designed to equip Thai regulators with essential knowledge for implementing effective economic regulations in Thailand.
Over four days, 14 representatives from CAA Thailand engaged with UK regulatory experts to explore various aspects of economic regulation. The programme began with an introduction to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) and the context in which the Consumer and Markets Group operates. This was followed by an insightful discussion on airport charges regulation, competition policy and market power determinations. The delegation also had the opportunity to engage with UK regulators on critical topics such as the UK’s ATOL (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing) scheme and crisis management strategies, air operations licenses, UK economic policy, and consumer protection measures. The mission also included a visit to Heathrow Airport, where delegates observed the airport’s facilities supporting travellers with additional needs and protocols for managing disruption.
