The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) would like to provide further update that Thailand’s ban on all incoming passenger flights has been extended until 23.59 Hrs. of 18 April, 2020.

According to the announcement issued on 6 April, 2020, by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT), any existing permission given to any passenger airlines that fall during the newly-extended ban period is null and void.

The CAAT continues to allow exceptions for landings of the following aircraft: state or military aircraft; emergency landing; technical landing without passenger disembarkation; humanitarian aid, medical and relief flights; repatriation flights; and cargo aircraft.

Passengers on flights that took off from destinations of origin before the CAAT’s announcement took effect are subject under the Emergency Decree to be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival in Thailand.
