The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) is assisting Thai Airways by sending 69 personnel to Suvarnabhumi International Airport to help manage delayed baggage. This support comes as severe flooding in Bangkok continues to disrupt airline operations, with the RTAF stepping in to help since September 26 when the flooding impacted the airline's ground operations.
The staff shortage caused by flooding led to flight delays and lengthy baggage collection times, with some passengers waiting up to eight hours to retrieve their belongings. The RTAF's deployment is expected to continue until the situation improves. A passenger reported that Thai Airways offered passengers the choice to wait or complete a form for home delivery, but the airline could not confirm when their belongings would arrive due to flooding affecting the delivery process.
As of 11pm last night, a large amount of baggage remained at the airport. Thai Airways has announced the cancellation of several domestic and international flights for September 29 and 30 due to flooding and staff shortages, urging passengers to follow the airline's official Facebook page for updates on flight schedules and baggage arrangements.
