Thai Airways International issued a bulletin on 11 July cancelling six flights between Bangkok, Shanghai and Taipei across 11-12 July. The carrier is offering full refunds or date changes within seven days but not waiving fare differences for departures after 19 July. Passengers have been urged to reconfirm itineraries 24 hours before travel. The airline is coordinating with Shanghai Pudong immigration to prioritise clearance for passengers transiting on TG code-share partners. Corporates with rotational crews between Thai and Chinese manufacturing sites should ensure that work-permit holders carry proof of rescheduled flights to avoid questions at Thai re-entry counters, as some Category-L single-entry visa holders may inadvertently overstay.
