Thai Airways International organises alternative routes in case of war

Thai Airways International has arranged contingency plans for flight operations to European destinations with five alternative routes, in an attempt to ensure maximum safety for all passengers in the event of war. 

Five alternative routes that THAI will use are as follows:

1st: Across Black Sea to Europe 
2nd: Across Iran to Europe 
3rd: Southern route, across Persian Gulf to Europe 
4th: Northern route, across Kunming via western China to Europe 
5th: Northern route, across Chengdu via western China to Europe 


THAI has said that some of its flight operations to Middle East destinations may be temporarily suspended during hostilities, although THAI will continue its normal flight operations to other destinations which can be operated safely, while maintaining most of its flight operations to other parts of the world.

THAI is also working in close cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on plans to evacuate Thai citizens living in Middle Eastern countries to Thailand in case of war.
