Bangkok airport flights to resume from Thursday

BANGKOK: International flights from Bangkok's main airport are set to resume on Thursday after protesters said they would end a blockade, a top airport authority official said.

"We hope to resume flights on December 4, hopefully. From tomorrow night, the first departure flight will be Bangkok-Rome, a Thai Airways flight," said Vudhibhandhu Vichairatana, chairman of the board of Airports of Thailand.

"We will try and get everything back to normal as soon as possible," he told reporters at Suvarnabhumi international airport.
