Airline in trouble for work-permitless pilot

Legal action will be taken against Phuket Airlines and an Indonesian pilot who was allowed to fly its aircraft without a work permit, according to Sombat Nivesrat, director of the Inspection and Job-Seekers Protection Division of the Labour Ministry's Employment Department.

Mr Sombat said he had invited a representative of the airline to testify about the allegation that an Indonesian pilot, identified only as Budi, was hired by the company as its pilot although the man did not have a work permit.

The airline's representative admitted the company only applied for a pilot instructor's work permit for the man on June 28, but had used the man to fly three flights due to a pilot shortage at the time.

Legal action will be taken against both the airline and its foreign employee, Mr Sombat said.
