  "account": "Bangkok, September 30 - Thai Airways International has halted cargo operations at its Suvarnabhumi Airport warehouse for a period of seven days, starting from September 30 to October 6, due to flooding that has disrupted staffing and resulted in a substantial backlog of goods. This decision was communicated by the airline's cargo operations division on Tuesday, as reported by Airports of Thailand to The Nation.\n\nThe airline cited flooding as the primary reason for the staffing issues, with some employees unable to reach their workplaces, leading to a significant manpower shortage. This shortage has consequently delayed the delivery of goods to customers and the shipment of cargo to scheduled flights. Thai Airways explained that the suspension was a strategic move to manage the disruption, optimize the use of available staff and resources, and ensure the safety of the warehouse while maintaining operational efficiency.\n\nThe company reassured that it is diligently working to resume regular cargo services as swiftly as possible. Thai Airways expressed its sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the suspension and appreciated customers' understanding and cooperation during this challenging period.",
