alanmorison Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 THE BLOCKADE of Phuket International Airport is over, and now the cost is being counted. Phuket's air siege lifted when leaders of the Peoples' Alliance for Democracy met Sunday morning and decided to stop the protest that brought a halt to all flights in and out of the island from Friday. Soon after, airport General Manager Wing Commander Wicha Nurnlop called all 11 airlines and told them the airport was open, and that flights could resume as soon as possible. The first outbound flight will be Thai Airways TG214, due to leave Phuket for Bangkok at 4.20pm. Inbound, the first flight to arrive will be TG213, which leaves Bangkok at 2.10pm and arrives on Phuket at 3.30pm. If you are a tourist travelling to Phuket or trying to leave the island, check with your airline direct for information about rescheduled flights. The airport will have to cope with a backlog of travellers. -- Detailed report at www.phuketwan.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
