Thailand is a Member State of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). With a fast-growing economy, Thailand is an important trade partner for the EU and has an important market for tourism. Although Thailand has a considerable origin & destination market for both tourism and business traffic, Bangkok is a major hub with many additional connections towards the region.

On 7 June 2016 the Council authorised the Commission to open comprehensive air transport negotiations with ASEAN. The future EU-ASEAN comprehensive air transport agreement (CATA) will be the first block-to-block air transport agreement and will cover market access as well as a wide range of areas (safety, security, air traffic management, social, consumer and environmental protection, fair competition etc.) where regulatory convergence should gradually be established. The negotiations are currently ongoing.
