In April 2024, Asia Atlantic Airlines rebranded as AirThailand.[2] However, on 20 February 2026, the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) removed the carrier from its list of Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holders. This regulatory move effectively terminated the airline's plans for a relaunch.[3]
