Thousands of travelers stranded in Asia: airports fight with chaos!
Thousands of passengers are stuck, while flight strokes in Thailand, but also in China, Japan and Indonesia, provide great chaos. At the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, the largest airport in Thailand, many travelers had to have planned flights canceled. Among the painted connections are the flights VZ 2105 and VZ 115 of Chiang Mai. Airlines such as Thai Airways and Vietjet are to accommodate passengers, but the situation remains confusing. The further development is uncertain, since even more deletions can be expected during the day, reports Travel and Tour World.
But there is unrest not only in Thailand. Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport in China also had to cancel several flights, including CSN5430 to Harbin and CBJ5895 to Changchun. Something similar happened at Harbin Taiping International Airport with cancellations such as CSN5429 to Qingdao and CSN5981 to Changsha. Fukuoka Airport in Japan also reported cancellations, including ORC63 to Miyazaki and IBX15 to Sendai. It seems as if the entire region is affected by these unexpected flight cancellations.
Travel provider and waiting situation
Passengers who were on vacation or on business are particularly affected and are now dependent on information and solutions. Many of them are waiting in the waiting areas of the airports, while the airlines strive to rebook at least some of the passengers to other routes.
The current situation not only leads to anger, but also uncertainty among travelers. Further information on the current departures can be found online, including on Airport Info Live.
Tipheral for Thailand
In addition, it is advisable to find out about entry requirements from the respective authorities or messages. Travelers who visit Thailand should also make sure to have sufficient travel health insurance. Especially in the current times of uncertain flight areas, it is important to be well informed.
Given the tense political situation in the country, especially in the southern provinces, experts advise caution. Military conflicts and an increased risk of terrorist attacks in certain regions can create additional uncertainties that travelers should not underestimate.
The tropical conditions in Thailand, especially in the rainy season from May to October, often also mean challenges when it comes to weather conditions and their effects on the infrastructure. Handling and floods can also make the situation on site difficult.
For all those who are in this situation, it can only be hoped that soon clarity will arise in the airplans. Until then, patience is required - and maybe one or the other has a good hand for the next steps in this processed situation.
