Based on · First reported · Updated
- Thai Airways International moved its baggage collection centre to the THAI Ground Service Maintenance building, a 24‑hour site, starting Saturday following the Bangkok flood crisis.
- More than 10,000 bags were delayed and nearly 60 domestic and international flights were cancelled or rescheduled, while dozens of flights and cargo operations were also suspended; the board sacked CEO Chai Eamsiri and director Samrit Samniang assumed command, and the Ministry of Transport pledged financial compensation to affected flyers.
- Passengers must check their baggage status online before arriving at the new site, where dedicated staff will conduct item‑by‑item searches to match luggage with owners.
