(BangkokPost.com) - Three People Power party (PPP) MPs were denied boarding flights of Thai Airways International Airlines (THAI) on Wednesday morning.

The three MPs included including MP for Surin province Farida Sulaiman, MP for Nong Bua Lamphu province Chaiya Promma, and MP for Nong Khai province Chomphu Chantathong.

At around 6am Wednesday, the captain of flight TG 1040 from Bangkok to Khon Kaen, whose name was not revealed, refused to allow the PPP MPs to board his flight because he did not want to accept politicians who hurt the general public.

Mrs Farida had to take another flight and later said she would like relevant parties to look into the mental state of the captain who could not distinguish cause from effect. She said it would not be safe for passengers to board on flights with such individual.

THAI personnel also rejected PPP MPs Chaiya and Chomphu to board their flights on Wednesday.

Following the incidents, THAI issued a statement claiming that its personnel did not let the PPP MPs to board their flights due to the passengers’ safety.

According to the statement, other passengers might not be satisfied with the PPP MPs during the flight and confrontations may occur.

Meanwhile, no THAI employees went on strike to join the anti-government demonstration led by the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) yet.

PPP당 의원 3명이 기장 및 직원들 거부로 비행기 탑승을 못했다는 소식입니다. ㅎㅎ
우리나라 같으면 의원들이 길길이 날뛰고 난리가 났을텐데 나중에 궁시렁대기만 한 모양이네요.
