The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has asked the Thailand Government to address safety and capacity issues at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.
IATA director general and CEO Tony Tyler said: "These assessments look at what the government is doing -- not the airlines. Thai Airways and Bangkok Airways are IATA members and, along with Thai Lion Air and Orient Thai Airlines are on the registry of the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). This demonstrates that they are operating to the highest global standards for operational safety.
