masuk Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm due to fly out this afternoon on AirAsia. Just wondering if it's likely they'll stop flights as they have done recently. Visibility is certainly R.S. this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Not sure we need a duplicate topic, but it all looks pretty normal on Flightradar24.com , and http://www.chiangmaiairportonline.com/flight-status-arrivals-departures/ And that's morning hours, which are toughest. So unless something crazy happens it looks likely that you'll be alright. Also.. Airlines like (Thai) Air Asia would have a better chance to make it to Chiang Mai, as the pilots fly into this airport all the time. They'll know it's the runway lights they're looking at as they know the lay of the land. In past years we've seen that flights from other countries have a lot harder time figuring it out. (Flights direct from Malaysia or China with pilots who don't fly into here several times weekly.) Edited March 17, 2015 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Flights direct from Malaysia or China with pilots who don't fly into here several times weekly.) The problem Monday was four flights did not land here at CNX one of them was Thai air. There was no report of planes not departing. My question is how long after landing is a plane on the ground before take off again? I ask this as my boy is due to fly out on Thai air to Bangkok Friday morning at 11:30 in the morning. Could the plane that did not land here be the one that would be going back then?

brommers Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The normal turn round time is 45 -60 minutes from arrival at the gate. There is every chance of delays each day with the smog as bad as it is. But right now all landings and take offs are to schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long enough to deplane the passengers from the previous flight, quickly clean the interior, and board the next group of passengers. So 45-50 minutes. Thai Airways basically runs the same plane to/from BKK-CNX several times consecutively each day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It was not CNX that altered the flights it was the airlines involved....CNX has all the electronics needed....of the 4 flights two went back and two went to CR...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the airlines don't trust CNX ATC on the ground. Unless they can see the runway they cannot be sure there isn't a plane on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnynmonic Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Makes sense. Like driving - when passengers try to help out and tell me it's clear, I still have to look before I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel Dude Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Makes sense. Like driving - when passengers try to help out and tell me it's clear, I still have to look before I go. So true. Happened to me once. Passenger gave me the all clear. Luckily I did look myself. - Zooof... A car passed at high speed in front of our nose- as I would not have been able to tell you the story now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Right now VTCC is reporting 3000m vis in smoke (and 38 degrees centigrade, sounds nice). I can tell you from experience in similar conditions you can get down to CAT I minimums and see NOTHING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or low cost carriers like Air Asia have more pressure to complete the leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yes, such carriers without union and social Protections are more likely to bindly descend below published approach minimums, risking the lives of all onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
