A flight carrying 78 Thai nationals departed from Sudan and was scheduled to land in Bangkok at 10pm, according to the air force, marking the arrival of the first group of evacuees returning home since the conflict in the North African country erupted.
Air force spokesman Prapas Sonjaidee stated that an Airbus A340-500 aircraft and two air force C-130s had already transported a total of 82 Thai citizens from Sudan to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. Of these, 78 were expected to board the Airbus A340-500 aircraft bound for Thailand, while the remaining four chose to stay in Saudi Arabia with relatives.
Despite being visibly exhausted from their journey, the evacuees maintained high spirits, as reported by Sonjaidee. The flight to Thailand was scheduled to depart at 2pm Thailand time and arrive at Wing 6 in Bangkok’s Don Muang airport around 10pm.
