Thai Airways is suing key leaders of the People's Alliance for Democracy and their supporters, including Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, for 575 million baht for damage caused by their seizure of Bangkok's two airports last year.
Just over a year ago, inside Suvarnabhumi airport.
Bampen Sappasri, representing THAI, yesterday lodged a civil complaint with the Civil Court against 36 leaders and key supporters of the yellow shirt alliance for causing damage to the airline during their blockade of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports between Nov 25 and Dec 4 of last year.
THAI said the blockades disrupted its passenger and cargo services and cost it a large amount of money.
THAI is demanding more than 575 million baht in damages plus 7.5% in annual interest.
The 36 defendants include Maj Gen Chamlong Srimuang, Sondhi Limthongkul, Piphob Thongchai, Suriyasai Katasila, Somsak Kosaisuk, Democrat MP Somkiat Pongpaibul, Chaiwat Sinsuwong, and Mr Kasit. The court has accepted the case for hearing. A preliminary hearing has been set for Feb 22.
