Passengers with waist wider than 56 inches cannot be accommodated by the new safety belts and airbag system in accordance with the safety standards of the US Federal Aviation Administration, Pratthana Pattanasirim, THAI’s director of security and flight standard division, explained.

He added that the seat belt likewise cannot accommodate parents with child sitting on their lap.
