Bandar Seri Begawan - Thailand's national carrier Thai Airways International has suspended all its flights in and out of Brunei Darussalam, sources told the Bulletin.
A spokesperson for the airline acknowledged the reports saying flights have been suspended "due to commercial requirements" effective February 12, declining to comment further as she was not authorised to speak to the media.
"We will release an official statement to the media once everything is ready," the spokesperson said yesterday.
Thai Airways in 2003 suspended flights to Phnom Penh due to the "unsettled" situation in the Cambodian capital and strained bilateral ties.
"The flights to and from Phnom Penh remain suspended out of concern for passenger safety since the situation in Phnom Penh is considered unsettled, while relations between Thailand and Kampuchea (Cambodia) have not returned to normal," the company said in a statement.
Despite the flight suspension that began January 30 following anti-Thai violence that erupted a day earlier in Phnom Penh, the Thai Airways office in the Cambodian capital reopened for business a few days later. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
