Orient Thai Airlines flies more Thai workers home from Libya
BANGKOK, March 2 - Hundreds more Thai workers are scheduled to arrive home from Libya Wednesday evening (March 2) by an Orient Thai Airlines flight.
Orient Thai Airlines Chief Executive Officer or CEO Manassanant Tantiprasongchai said that an Orient Thai Airlines Boeing 747 plane, flight No.OX 8928, will fly the more than 450 Thai workers home directly from Libya, becoming the first airliner which directly picks stranded people out of riot-torn Libya. The Thai workers are scheduled to arrive at Thailand’s main Suvarnabhumi Airport at 8pm (local time), together with Orient Thai Airlines' chief advisor, Udom Tantiprasongchai, who went to pick them up on board.
The Orient Thai Airlines CEO acknowledged that his airline has earned trust from and has been assigned by international agencies, governments of several countries and several international companies for the evacuation mission of Thai and other nationals, both directly and indirectly from unrest-stricken Libya, and that his airline has also prepared another three more flights to fly Thai and foreign workers who have first fled Libya to Tunisia, Malta, and other nearby third countries home.
According to the airline's top executive, the Orient Thai Airlines has set up a help desk at Suvarnabhumi Airport as well to assist and facilitate relatives of Thai nationals waiting for the returning Thai people from Libya. (TNA)
