THAI confirms winter schedule

Thai Airways International has released details of its winter flight schedule, valid from 1 January to 27 March 2021. The airline is in the midst of a restructuring supervised by Thailand’s Bankruptcy Court, a process that will continue through 2021. It suspended most of its services as a direct result of the Covid-19 lockdown last March. Subsequently, it filed for shelter under the country’s bankruptcy legislation to allow it to initiate a restructuring process. Earlier this month it announced that close to 5,000 employees would take early requirement or accept up to 80% cuts in salary in 2021 while the airline resumes full commercial services. Since last March it has relied almost entirely on ad-hoc repatriation flights with a partial shift to limited “commercial flights” starting last month for passengers eligible under Thailand’s strict immigration restrictions.
