Domestic air travel will resume in Covid-19 dark-red zones with some requirements, starting on Sept 1, after restrictions in the areas were eased, according to Airports of Thailand.
The authority, citing the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, said air passengers would still have to comply with the restrictions imposed by destination airports.
They range from the usage of some tracking mobile apps and full-vaccination certificates to Covid-19 test results.
Airlines are also allowed to increase load factors to 70% from 50% to help lower airfares. In-flight drinks and food are still prohibited.
