Phuket Air no longer serves Europe, so the French are just being fashionably late.
Or Phuket Airlines no longer serves Europe because it has been banned to do so... DGAC only rules on airlines who already fly to France or have requested to establish a route to France, BTW.

Phuket Air also black listed by UK & Dutch civil airline authorities.
The French are just tacking precautions, this stems from the incidents earlier this year when in LOS I read that Phuket Air had changed it route from Gatwick (London) to Schiphol (Amsterdam) at only a few days notice for operational reasons based on they were finding it uneconomical competing with Thai Air and the opportunity to switch to Schiphol made sense.
When I get home I read all about:
- UAE Plane attempts two take-off’s with fuel pouring out of the wings, passengers refuse to re-board for third attempt.
- Passengers with big delays (days) due to technical problems.
- Plane grounded at Gatwick due to unpaid landing fees.
This link says it all, http://www.gatwick-airport-uk.info/gatwickairport060505a.htm
Obviously the French are taking sensible precautions, just things move a little slower over there.

They used to fly to France but stopped service prior to the ruling -- hence DGAC is a little late. Yes they were banned in other countries in Europe, which caused the airline to pull out of the entire continent. It's all moot as Phuket Air has decided to throw in the moist towelette:

Yes I worked for a wet/dry lease airline. Such the cowboy merchants. Horror stories from the Hadj flights. Pilgrims shitting down their legs as they board the aircraft. Aircraft hit on purpose by ground vehicles.
I suspect Phuket Air will re-emerge as the wet/dry lease airline like they have and then go bust.
They have an aircraft impounded at Gatwick.
Unprofessional and under-funded. It is not like running a bus line ! The ancient Japanese built NAMC YS-11 was probably their most reliable aircraft ! Built like the tank with Rolls-Royce Dart engines.
The important question is ?
How many other cheap Far-East Airlines are like this ?
Reduce your costs to become competitive, means skimping on regular maintenance checks and doing only what is necessary.
I think the cabin service in British Airways is merde but the aircraft are well maintained, which is good enough for me !

Not any more... they pranged it on Monday!!!
Just how long can this airline keep going, I was looking at there schedule last weekend, it had become quite pathetic with only four routes serviced with two aircraft so looks like they will be running only two routes with the remaining plane, a 737-200.
Best advice is not to pay in advance for tickets on this airline.

Pranged a Namc YS-11 ?
Idiots ! Not sacre bleu but sacrilege !
Phuket Air are dry/wet leasing aircraft which is probably a better business than running an airline ?
A shower of shit.

Banning Phuket Air from Europe is sort of like going deer hunting without an accordion.
