BANGKOK, 3 August 2021: Thailand’s domestic airlines pull
the plug on all flights until the end of August as the deep red zones that
include strict restrictions and a nightly 2100 to 0400 curfew increase to 29
provinces.
Previously domestic flights were banned to and from the deep
red zone that covered Bangkok and 12 provinces, three of which were in the deep
south. The ban on transport also covered train and buses.
But over the weekend, the government increased the deep red
zone to include 29 provinces that have now ended the remaining few flights that
were operating.
Nok Air was the last airline to suspend flights on 3 August. It offered three daily flights from Phuket to U-Tapao, a coastal airport in Rayong province just 40 km south of Pattaya beach resort, until the evening of 2 August. Rayong has now joined the deep red province along with Chonburi province that covers Pattaya, ending the airline services.
