A cargo plane operated by K-Mile Air left Bangkok's besieged Suvarnabhumi airport on Tuesday, the first to take off from the terminal since anti-government protesters shut it down a week ago, Reuters reported
The Boeing-727 aircraft owned by K-Mile Air, a unit of Kuala Lumpur-based Transmile Group, left for Hong Kong with assorted express cargo.
Two more cargo flights operated by Air Hongkong Ltd were scheduled to depart for Hong Kong the same day.
Pure cargo flights were authorised to resume on Tuesday, but it is believed passenger flights would remain closed until December 15.
Asian carriers such as Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas and Malaysian Airline Systems, plan to resume cargo flights shortly.
