THAI has not responded to a request from Airports of Thailand Plc (AoT) to fly those jets including the A340- 500s that were used for non-stop flights between Bangkok and New York to other locations. THAI's top management has vowed to clear their retired aeroplanes from Don Mueang, but somehow we have not seen that translated into action a frustrated airport official told the Bangkok Post yesterday. The official said there were long-term parking spaces at inactive airports in other parts of the country such as U-tapao airport in Rayong province, the navy-operated where THAI could store jets for sale.
