Thailand's aviation authority (CAAT) has clarified new baggage inspection procedures effective 16 October 2026. Checked luggage will only be opened when X-ray scanning detects suspicious items posing flight safety risks. All inspections are recorded, auditable, and passengers are notified afterward. This aligns with international standards used in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and major global hubs, aiming to enhance security while reducing delays from manual baggage tracing.
