Thai Airways flights have been experiencing delays due to flooding disrupting ground operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The flooding has left the airline short-staffed, causing flight delays and longer baggage collection times for arriving passengers. The disruption began on September 26 and continues today. Thai Airways ground handling personnel have been unable to reach the airport due to flooding, and malfunctioning baggage carts are also contributing to the issue.
As a result, some flights have departed later than planned, and passengers waiting at baggage claim have experienced unusually long waits. Luggage from several flights remains uncollected. Suvarnabhumi Airport is working with Thai Airways to address the situation, increasing ground handling staff, repairing baggage carts, and providing updates on flight information screens and announcements.
Additional airport staff have been deployed to assist affected travelers. Thai Airways is requesting passengers without luggage to complete a delayed baggage report for tracking and delivery. Passengers can contact Thai Airways Lost and Found or the THAI Contact Centre for assistance.
