Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

In typical Thai style, (and without the usual Western signs of panic or outward frustration), newly trained airport staff in the passenger terminals and cargo sheds have quietly and efficiently cleared passengers from hundreds of arriving aircraft and have already shipped thousands of tonnes of air cargo with a smile (even though some short-term backlogs have occurred).
