Thai Airways International has said it is fully cooperating with authorities after one of its cabin crew members was charged with importing more than a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of heroin into Australia concealed inside her luggage.
The 26-year-old Thai national, who was working aboard flight TG465 from Bangkok to Melbourne, was stopped after arriving in Australia on 25 June. Australian Border Force (ABF) officers allegedly detected irregularities while X-raying her 12 tote bags, before discovering a white powder hidden within the lining of the bags. Presumptive testing allegedly returned a positive result for heroin.
