News: Bangkok airport resumes flights

Thailand's main international airport resumed full operations on Friday, two days after anti-government protesters left the site.
Flights have been leaving Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport since Wednesday, but thousands of passengers still face long delays as the backlog is cleared.
Protesters camped for more than a week to force the prime minister to resign, stranding thousands of travellers as all air traffic was stopped.
Hundreds of passengers are still facing uncertainty about when they can return home as not all airlines are operating a full service.
There are still a large number of cancelled flights and those that have been scheduled are heavily overbooked. Some passengers are being told that it may take as much as another week before they can be guaranteed a seat.
