Thai Airways Pauses Suvarnabhumi Cargo Intake as Flooding Disrupts Staff

Bangkok, 30 September 2026 – Thai Airways has suspended inbound and outbound cargo acceptance at its Suvarnabhumi Airport warehouse for seven days, from 30 September to 6 October, as flooding disrupts staff travel and creates a backlog. The notice concerns cargo intake at the airline’s warehouse, not a general cancellation of passenger flights. For freight customers, the immediate priority is to confirm handling arrangements before sending goods to the airport.

The airline said flood conditions had prevented some employees from reporting for duty, reducing manpower available to process shipments. Delays have affected both the handover of freight to customers and transfers to scheduled flights. Pausing new intake is intended to let the operation clear the accumulated workload and restore normal service safely. The timetable is a target based on the announcement, not proof that all delays will end on 6 October.
