BANGKOK: Thai anti-government protesters said Wednesday that they completely controlled Bangkok's international airport and that airlines must seek their direct permission to use the facility. "The PAD has completely taken control of Suvarnabhumi Airport so any airline that wants to take off or land must seek permission from us directly," said Chaiwat Sinswuwong, one of the leaders of the People's Alliance for Democracy. "We have allowed one flight for the Hajj (Muslim pilgrimage) to take off, but not others," he added.
