ONCB says heroin hidden in two of 12 bags in Thai airline crew case
WEDNESDAY, JULY 01, 2026
Thai narcotics officials say initial information from Australian authorities indicates heroin was hidden inside two of 12 bags in a parcel linked to the arrest of a Thai female airline crew member, as investigators continue to hunt the real courier and the masterminds behind a suspected transnational drug network.
Thai Airways CEO Chai Eamsiri says the airline will fully cooperate with Australian police and will not intervene in the legal process after a female cabin crew member was arrested in Melbourne over an alleged heroin-smuggling case. The airline has set up a fact-finding and disciplinary panel, with dismissal possible if wrongdoing is confirmed.
