The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has extended its inbound flight ban to April 30 except repatriation flights and some others for Covid-19 control.

CAAT's director-general Chula Sukmanop announced the ban extension on its media on Wednesday morning. It was the third extension of the ban which was first imposed on April 3. 

He extended the ban on inbound passenger flights from 12.01am on April 19 to 11.59pm on April 30.

The ban does not include state and military aircraft, aircraft making emergency landing and aircraft making technical landing without anyone leaving the plane.

It also spares humanitarian aid, medical and relief flights as well as repatriation and cargo flights.

People arriving on the exempted flights are subject to disease control measures including 14-day quarantine.
