"Simple things like having airline manuals at ground offices, making sure you have two planes ready to relieve mechanical errors were all lacking".If safety is downgraded, all airlines registered in Thailand, including major carriers like Thai Airways would face possible bans on new routes.[1] On 20 April 2015, Transport Minister Air Chief Marshal Prajin Juntong announced that Thailand would be unable to meet the ICAO's June deadline.Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha had said earlier that he would invoke emergency powers to "swiftly solve" Thai safety shortcomings.[9] ICAO requirements, at minimum, will necessitate the writing and publication of an aviation safety manual by mid-year and, once that is done, the recertification of 41 airlines—28 foreign and 13 Thai—operating in Thailand.
