Civil Aviation Resource Network July 12, 2022 News: Thai Airways Chief Commercial Officer Nond Kalinta said that due to the rapid recovery of demand, Thai Airways will reactivate three deactivated A330-300 aircraft and two B777-200(ER) aircraft.
Thai Airways expects to have 4.48 million passengers for the year and total revenue of 80 billion baht ($2.2 billion), as Thailand lifted travel restrictions on foreign travelers starting July 1. For Thai Airways, the current average load factor is 70-80%, with the European market having the highest load factor at 90%. "We believe this year's peak season will see the highest number of passengers in the past two years, with bookings already hitting 60 per cent in July and continuing to rise," Nond Kalinta said.
Since the outbreak, Thai Airways has suspended most of its wide-body fleet. With the exception of repatriation charter flights, Thai Airways' passenger operations have effectively ceased due to the very strict travel restrictions in place in Thailand. As the airline entered a judicial restructuring, it announced plans to simplify its fleet. First, it retired all B747-400s, B777-200s and B777-300s. It also subsequently retired the A380-800 and B777-200(ER), leaving only the A330-300, A350-900, B777-300(ER), B787-8 and B787-9, and its fleet size was greatly reduced.
According to data from ch-aviation, Thai Airways currently has 6 B777-200(ER)s, 4 of which are in use and 2 have been stored at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport since March 2020. Seven of the nine A330-300s are parked at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok and two at Hong Kong International Airport.
