(Bangkok Post file photo)Thailand's ability to implement all of the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) standards will benefit tourism, says Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha. The Thai aviation industry was in disarray when it was red-flagged by the ICAO in June 2015 for failing to adequately deal with "significant safety concerns" within the specified time frame. "Gen Prayut was satisfied with the result," said deputy government spokesman Werachon Sukondhapatipak. "This success will help create confidence and benefit the aviation sector and tourism industry a great deal," Gen Prayut was quoted by Lt Gen Werachon as saying. According to the deputy spokesman, the ICAO praised Thailand for making "tangible progress" in tackling aviation problems.
