CAAT moves to ease flight prices as Songkran loomsTourists at Suvarnabhumi airport during the Songkran festival last year. The CAAT said it has been closely monitoring the regional conflict, which has constrained aviation operations and disrupted connectivity on several routes, particularly those relying on Middle Eastern transit hubs. The CAAT advised passengers planning to transit in the region to check flight status and airline requirements closely. ACM Manat Chuanprayoonsuk, the CAAT's director-general, said the regulator is monitoring ticket prices closely, particularly during peak travel periods. For the Songkran holiday, from April 10–15, the CAAT has coordinated with Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, Thai AirAsia, Nok Air, Thai Lion Air and Thai Vietjet to expand capacity and ease travel costs.
