To hasten the return of Thais from war-torn Israel, the Royal Thai Air Force has changed its course.
The air pressure commander, ACM Phanpakdee Pattanakul, announced on Saturday that Thai citizens who have been trying to flee southern Israel since the large surprise attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on October 7 are now being retrieved using an Airbus A340-500 aircraft.
The air force’s next evacuation flight follows a revised path that passes through six countries as opposed to the previous 10. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ conversations led to the change in the journey way.
According to a cause, the change shortens the flight time to Israel from 13 days to about 8.5 periods.
People will no longer be picked up at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on coming flights. Instead, they’ll pick up Thais at the United Arab Emirates’ ( UAE ) Fujairah Airport. On October 25, 28, and 30, there will likely be more planes, with the possibility of more if need exists.
140 Thais will be returned to Don Mueang airports on Sunday night as part of the second searching operation.
In the meantime, the Foreign Ministry has urged Thais who are confused about leaving Israel to make sure they are in secure areas.
According to the government, those who have changed their minds about going back are asked to let the Thai embassy know as soon as possible so that their seats can be given to those in need.
More than 8, 000 Thais have now registered to return to Israel, where about 30, 000 of them work in agriculture, including on 5, 000 in the north of the nation.
The second eight Siamese employees to pass away in the Middle East were andnbsp repatriated on a commercial aircraft on Friday. They were then taken back to the regions where they were raised.
