The Thailand Transport Ministry did not immediately respond to a CNN request for

Alan Polivnick, a partner at global law firm Watson Farley & Williams, which specializes in
aviation matters, says the biggest issue is how other countries will respond to the red flag.
"If you look at all the other countries that have red flags, Thailand is the only one other
than Nepal in this region, and there will be concerns raised about this," he says.
