New Thai Airways International President Aims To Turn National Carrier Around

MatildaLovejoy6:

The board of Thailand's national carrier in mid February approved the sale of numerous planes from the current Thai Airways International fleet. Models approved for sale include the Airbus A330-300, the Airbus A340-600, and the Boeing 747-400. In June 2015, new THAI president Charamporn Jotikasthira will [http://bordersalertandready.com/?s=propose&search=Search propose] to the board the sale of additional Boeing 747-400s. With the board's previous resolution to sell aircraft, 2015 will see THAI making many changes aimed at turning the airline around. This sell-off will cut THAI's fleet and also affect its subsidiary THAI Smile as well. This would mean the average age of its fleet, Charamporn said, would then be 7.8 years which is considered as new. He said the shorter usage time would cut the aviation management costs of THAI by six percent. Charamporn was quoted as saying, "The operating result for this year does not depend on operations but on asset sales. It depends on whether these asset sales turn out as expected. The sale should go well now because of the decline in the price of oil." THAI has also made changes to a number of routes in its global network. Its flights from Bangkok to Johannesburg were stopped on January 15 and flights from Bangkok to Moscow ended on March 28. Flights from Bangkok to Madrid will be terminated on September 5. Some other routes have had the frequency adjusted. Charamporn said the terminated routes had been loss-ridden for a long time and had no prospects for recovery. The Thai Airways International president indicated that operations on Asian routes had bright prospects, but those on European routes were shrinking. He said the carrier planned to use Airbus A380 aircraft on direct flights from Bangkok to London, Paris and Frankfurt. From its Bangkok, Thailand base, THAI currently flies to many major [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] destinations around the world.

All traffic blockades and checkpoints are also set to be removed, according to a <a style="font-weight: bold;" class="class" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" website announcement][ ]. The news came as Chinese President Xi Jinping today visited Wuhan for the first time since the epidemic started there - a major sign that Beijing believes the outbreak is under control. Xi is pictured addressing officials working in the Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan today China state newspaper has urged its people to strive towards the 'victory of a people's war' against the epidemic. People's Daily wrote: '[We] should enhance the party's leadership comprehensively and work around the people to boost the people's power for seizing the victory of the people's war in controlling the epidemic.' The timing of Xi's visit indicates that China is ready to declare victory over the health crisis, which has killed at least 3,136 people in the nation and 4,285 worldwide, according to experts. The news also came after Wuhan authorities had closed all of the city's 14 makeshift 'fang cang' hospitals - temporary facilities specialising in treating coronavirus patients with minor symptoms. China's unprecedented quarantine measures that have sealed off Wuhan and the rest of Hubei since late January appear to have paid off, with new infections dropping dramatically in recent weeks. China's progress stands in stark contrast with the growing global crisis, with cases now growing at a faster pace abroad, and Italy enacting its nationwide lockdown. More than 100 countries are now fighting the contagion, which has infected over 117,200 people globally. Wuhan and the rest of Hubei have been on lockdown since late January in a bid to curb the epidemic. Wuhan streets were still largely deserted on March 10 when Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived for [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] his first visit to the city at the epicentre of the coronavirus epidemic An expert claimed that the timing of Xi's trip to Wuhan indicated an 'interim victory' for China in its fight against the new coronavirus, which has now killed at least 4,060 around the world.
