Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport closed - Lufthansa flights diverted to Phuket

A political demonstration takes place at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport and it has caused the airport to close temporarily.

Lufthansa is re-routing its flights to Bangkok LH772 and LH782 scheduled for departure until November, 30th 2008 to Phuket. The continuing flights to Ho Chi Minh City and Kuala Lumpur will not operate. The respective return flights LH773 departing Ho Chi Minh City and LH783 from Kuala Lumpur will also not operate until December, 01st 2008. The flights scheduled to leave from Bangkok will now depart from Phuket instead.
