TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses the situation of Australians in Thailand, some of whom are still waiting for flights home. There are repatriation flights scheduled every Sunday with limited capacity. Concerns arise regarding potential reductions in flight numbers due to recent announcements by the Australian PM affecting states' return capacities.

Oz Ambassador’s next message will be interesting! Hope there’s no reductions with the recent announcement by the PM cutting numbers flying back to NSW, QLD & WA till mid Feb at least.

Tony Cabello. There are people claiming to be stranded, but there are also regular scheduled flights on Singapore Airlines and Qatar Airways, I believe to both Sydney and Melbourne with higher capacities.
