However, blacklisting individual carriers may
have an impact beyond air services between Thailand and the EU. Even if no
other civil aviation authorities take steps to blacklist Thai carriers, the resulting
negative publicity and public concerns and speculation about safety standards
may result in some airlines reducing or ending their commercial relationships with
Thai carriers. This is particularly where foreign carriers code share with Thai
carriers and the Thai carrier is the operating carrier and where a Thai airline is
part of a regional or global alliance.
