Pilots ask for rethink of wet leases

Quick Summary:

The Thai Pilots Association submitted a letter to the Labour and Transport ministries yesterday requesting a revision of the cabinet's approval of foreign pilots being allowed to fly domestic routes via wet lease contracts.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, there were 3,024 commercial pilots in 2023.

Teerawat Angkasakulkiat, president of the association, said this measure conflicts with the law, as pilot is a prohibited occupation for foreigners, while there is not a pilot shortage.
