The first Chinese flight bringing home stranded Chinese tourists after the closure of Thailand's main international airport in Bangkok, arrived at eastern Shanghai before dawn on Sunday.

Aboard the China Eastern MU Flight 548 were 246 of less than 3,000 Chinese tourists believed being trapped in Thailand. The plane which left the Shanghai Pudong International Airport at noon Saturday, returned to the airport at 2:15 on Sunday.

Twenty-eight tourists aboard will fly to Kunming, the provincial capital of southern Yunnan Province, from Shanghai.

Chinese aviation authorities sent planes to Thailand to bring home the remaining stranded Chinese tourists after the closure of the Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

Zhou, a father who was expecting his stranded daughter to arrive on Sunday, rushed to the Pudong airport at 1:00 on Sunday. His daughter had an internship with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in the turmoil country after anti-government protesters laid siege to Thailand's Suvarnabhumi International Airport earlier last week.

"My family were deeply concerned about my daughter's safety after learning the Thailand airport was closed. We felt a great relief that she could take the charter flight and finally got back safe," said Zhou.

Gao, a manager of a Shanghai food company who went to Thailand for market research and was scheduled to be back to Shanghai on Wednesday, said he was "very happy to be back home" and was deeply impressed that the Chinese government could immediately organize charter flights in time of stress.

A source with the China Eastern said the plane returned people with tickets on the airline, 26 members of the operating crew as well as other Chinese citizens if seats were available.

At 3:17 a.m., China Southern Airline's Boeing 777 landed at Southern Guangzhou Baiyun International airport, bringing another 351 stranded Chinese tourists home.

The aircraft took off at 1:07 a.m. on Sunday morning. It was supposed to return earlier, but was delayed due to disorder at the airport in Thailand.

Over 10,000 passengers flooded into the airport since the morning, causing heavy traffic jam on ways from Bangkok towards the airport and disordered situation.

China has arranged seven charter flights to retrieve stranded Chinese tourists in Thailand as of Saturday.

Sources said Air China, Southern Airline, and Shanghai Airlines would send more aircrafts to Thailand on Sunday, respectively.

Thousands of foreigners became stranded in Bangkok after anti-government protesters in Thailand laid siege to the country's main international airport earlier this week.
