At the same time, the Thai airline is doubling the frequency on its Bangkok-London and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] Bangkok-Frankfurt frequencies, to twice daily. Key elements of the restructuring are a plan to cut 1,401 jobs through voluntary retirement in 2015 and a suspension of flights to Los Angeles and, in February 2016, to Rome. The Thai national carrier aims to reduce operating costs and capacity by 20 per cent under the two year plan, which also calls for the sale of aircraft. As of 30 June 2015, the Thai Airways fleet stood at 94 aircraft, following the decommissioning of one aircraft and delivery of two new [https://www.gov.uk/search?q=aircraft aircraft]. The fleet includes two Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, which offer passengers a 'great sense of space, wide sculptured ceilings, large windows with dimmers and less jetlag'. The Thai airline was earlier this year given a 9.5 out of 10 score for its Economy Class on the 787 Dreamliner, by Airlineratings.com site and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] editorial manager Sharon Petersen who flew a six-and-a-half hour overnight trip from Bangkok to Perth. Another international accolade for the airline's service came in its being awarded second best rank for 'Best Airline Asia' from leading Asia travel marketing organization Go Asia. The award was earned for efforts and positive impact in travel and tourism growth in Asia. Thai Airways offered staff the opportunity to participate in the Mutual Separation Plan (MSP) and a similar Golden Handshake program for cabin crew, in order to manage job positions that were affected from flight and route adjustments. The staff reduction programs have the aim of helping improve personnel expense structure as well as reducing longer time expense. Effective from 25 October 2015 with its international winter schedule 2015/2016, Thai Airways will temporarily suspend its four times a week Bangkok-Seoul-Los Angeles service, and reduce frequency on its Bangkok-Kolkata service from ten flights a week to one flight daily. The suspension of the four times a week Bangkok-Rome service has been postponed and the carrier's flights between the Thai and Italian capital cities will now be suspended in February 2016. The winter schedule will see more choice for those wanting to book flights from [http://www.answers.com/topic/Bangkok Bangkok] to London and vice versa, with the current schedule of seven flights per week (once daily) being doubled to 14 flights per week (twice daily) operated by Airbus 380-800 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Flights from Bangkok to Frankfurt and vice versa will also be doubled, from the current seven weekly flights (once daily) to 14 weekly flights (twice daily) and also using Airbus 380-800 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The winter schedule will see also see the national flag carrier transfer selected routes to subsidiary THAI Smile, which will operate them with smaller aircraft and aim for better efficiency and cost effectiveness. THAI Smile will operate the Bangkok-Hyderabad, Bangkok-Luang Prabang and Bangkok-Changsha routes once receiving permission from the respective aviation authorities to operate to these destinations. Thai Airways said the suspension of routes was on a temporary basis, and the company would review these again at a later date under the transformation plan. Thai Airways said once its operations had strengthened and it was more confident of competing well to and from the respective destinations, it would resume the suspended flights. Thai Airways meanwhile continues serving its European destinations, issuing a statement that it operates under the high safety standards of the European Aviation Safety Agency. The statement followed a red flag given Thailand by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in June 2015 over significant safety concerns within the country's aviation sector. Thai Airways International president Charamporn Jotikasthira said the European Commission's EU Air Safety List updated on 25 June 2015 did not include the Thai airline and as such it would continue to operate regularly scheduled flights to Europe. THAI operates flights from Bangkok to Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Brussels, Munich, Oslo, Paris, Stockholm, Zurich, Rome and Milan on either a direct or one stop basis. In the United Kingdom, it flies direct to London Heathrow and recently introduced Airbus A380 equipment on to this daily route. Thai Airways International Public Company Limited is the national flag carrier airline of Thailand, operating out of Suvarnabhumi Airport, offering flight service to 35 countries. THAI is a founding member of the Star Alliance.

By Sophie Yu, Yilei Sun and Brenda Goh BEIJING/SHANGHAI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Chinese government employee Jin Yang returned to work in Beijing this week to find his usual workplace rules upended as China battles a coronavirus epidemic. His office has banned the practice of eating lunch in its canteen with colleagues, in favour of boxed meals, packaged in house and eaten at desks, he said. "It's anything but normal," the 28-year-old told Reuters. Meetings are held online, instead of in person. Employees must wear masks all day and report their temperatures twice a day. Jin is one of millions of workers who began streaming back this week from Lunar New Year holidays extended by 10 days in China's struggle to rein in the virus, which has killed 1,380 people and infected nearly 64,000. But streets and subways are largely deserted in major cities such as Beijing, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] the capital, and the business hub of Shanghai, with many shops and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] restaurants empty or shut, while lots of office employees work from home. As many places still enforce containment measures, companies are adopting rules to prevent infection and banish employees' fears of catching it, such as keeping them as widely separated as possible. Not all companies have resumed work. Many that have are asking employees returning from trips overseas or other provinces to quarantine themselves at home for up to 14 days. A manager at one foreign multinational said staff were concerned, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] particularly after China's tough step in locking down Wuhan, the central city of 11 million people where the outbreak began. "They want no contact," said the manager, who sought anonymity as she was not [http://www.buzzfeed.com/search?q=authorised authorised] to speak to media. "Some want people to sit with empty chairs between them at meetings, toilet visits to be assigned at staggered times, and no sharing of the water dispenser," she added, listing the precautions staff want followed. Chinese media have posted photographs of office canteens where plastic sheets and wooden boards divide up tables to form segregated dining cubicles. An industrial zone in the central city of Changsha has started using unmanned robots to deliver meals, the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/state-run%20People%27s state-run People's] Daily newspaper said. Automaker GAC, which has joint ventures with Toyota and Honda, said no more than half its employees are allowed to work each day at its headquarters in the southern city of Guangzhou, with lunchtimes divided into four slots of 15 minutes each. It also rearranged its canteen, and shifted tables to an outdoor terrace, with each spaced 2 metres (7 ft) apart. It has also swapped its previous buffet service for a menu of pre-arranged options. E-commerce firm Pinduoduo said its employees must complete a daily health-check form. It disinfects offices at least twice a day, and provides meals for everyone to minimize exposure. On the Weibo messaging app, the term "hardcore armour for returning to work" has drawn 140 million views, with users sharing safety tips, using videos and pictures. Some images showed people wearing motorcycle helmets at their desks with others in costumes similar to space suits travelling on public transport and some in homemade protective gear fashioned from plastic bottles.
