THAI plans more Europe, Japan flights
THAI plans to add at least nine aircraft to its operational fleet in the first quarter of 2023 and will increase its flights to Europe and Japan to meet the rising demands of post-pandemic tourism, acting CEO Suvadhana Sibunruang said on Monday. He said THAI would reinstate its three A330-300 and two B777-200ER jets, which were grounded due to the effects on the travel industry of the Covid-19 pandemic. All five aircraft are undergoing maintenance before returning to full service next year. THAI will rent another four A350-900 aircraft with a 12-year contract at US$770,000 (26.8m baht) per aircraft, said Mr Suvadhana. The leases are being considered by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) and the Transport Ministry, he said, adding that the first new aircraft is expected to be delivered by next March. <br/>
