Thai Airways details incoming leased aircraft through 2025

Thai Airways International expects to take delivery of 23 leased aircraft by the end of 2025, according to Piyasvasti Amranand, chairman of the airline's debt rehabilitation administrator. Amranand spoke to media in Bangkok late last week after reporting Thai's fourth consecutive quarterly profit and saying that the airline should wrap up its court-supervised restructuring by late 2024. Existing lease agreements will see Thai Airways take delivery of eleven A350-900s, two A330-300s, one B787-9, and twelve unspecified A321-types, for a total of 26 aircraft. Three A350-900s have already arrived - HS-THQ (msn 266) sourced from Avolon, HS-THR (msn 245) also from Avolon, and HS-THV (msn 187) sourced from AerCap, leaving 23 aircraft undelivered. Thai expects another two A350s to arrive before the end of the year. The airline says another eight aircraft from the tally will land in Bangkok by mid-2024. Amranand says over the course of next year, six more A350-900s will ferry in. By mid-2024, Thai anticipates receiving half of the 26 leased aircraft, although, beyond discussion about the A350 type, Amranand did not provide further aircraft type delivery details.<br/>
