Céline goes back tomorrow (to London) via Singapore (with a Swiss GM I am in contact with) with the new Airbus A380 (somewhat jealous here)!
Their flights Phuket-Singapore-London shouldn't be affected (maybe delayed though).
From what I understand, Phuket Airport operates more or less normally:
http://www.clubmedplanet.com/village_detail.asp?cntnt=flights&vilcode=PHUCAs I just read on the internet, flights to/from Bangkok are being diverted to Phuket (and Chang Mai). So, basically an advantage for tourists on the island right now, since they can hope for a direct flight home to wherever.
But then, not sure how these two small airports can handle all that traffic without any troubles and long waits...
As for Vaughan, I hope things will be back to normal until he leaves. High season is close and Thailand will lose lots of tourists, if they can't control the situation.
More in the Phuket Gazette:
