THAI needs proper restructuring to survive: Sumeth

THAI needs restructuring if it is to survive in the highly competitive aviation business, the airline’s president Sumeth Damrongchaitham said Friday. He added that THAI has already appointed an advisory team to see what changes are needed in terms of flight schedules and its tie-ups with other airlines that are part of Team Thailand, such as Thai Smile, Nok Air and Bangkok Airways. “The advisory team will take 2 months to finalise the study and offer a proposal for our new flight schedule for 2020,” Sumeth said. Under the restructuring, THAI will focus more on the international market and link up with other members of the Team Thailand for local flights, he said. “The new schedules will ensure passengers have enough time to catch connecting flights," Sumeth added. <br/>
