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 propose to the board the sale of additional Boeing 747-400s. With the board's previous resolution to sell aircraft, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] 2015 will see THAI making many changes aimed at turning the [https://www.rewards-insiders.marriott.com/search.jspa?q=airline 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 [https://www.biggerpockets.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=Bangkok 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.

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Forget Chennai and Mumbai. The outsourcing hubs of tomorrow will be in Guadalajara and Gdansk. An eclectic mix of 31 cities worldwide will challenge today's best-known outsourcing centers in China and India, according to a new report from professional services giant KPMG. Faced with overburdened telecommunications infrastructure and overstretched labor markets in traditional offshore locations, these cities are among the alternatives that should be considered by companies, the report says. The report found that the new cities in the Asia-Pacific region offer lower costs, younger populations, and government incentives such as easy work permits, while those in Europe, Middle East, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] and Africa promise robust telecommunications and power infrastructures and niche specialization in fields such as data management.

THAI Doubles London Frankfurt Frequencies Postpones Rome Suspension To Feb 2016

2021-05-28T08:52:35Z

Effective from 25 October 2015, THAI will offer more choice for those wanting to book flights from 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 [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Effective from the same date, THAI 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. An earlier decision to suspend the four times a week Bangkok-Rome service with the activation of the international winter schedule 2015/2016 has been postponed and the carrier's flights between the Thai and Italian capital cities will now be suspended in February 2016. THAI president Charamporn Jotikasthira said the company's board of directors agreed to postpone the suspension to 1 February 2016 in order to meet travel demand during the high season in Rome. THAI will work with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to jointly promote roundtrip travel on the route, which the airline will serve on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday using Boeing 747-400 aircraft. Thai Airways says its passengers will continue to be served through its planned operation from Bangkok to Munich/Frankfurt/Brussels and partner airline connections to Rome. In the return direction from Zurich/Frankfurt/Munich to Bangkok, THAI will operate Airbus 380-300 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with convenient connection to the Thai capital. The winter schedule will see THAI transfer selected routes to THAI Smile, which will operate them with smaller aircraft and aim for better efficiency and cost effectiveness. THAI Smile will operate the Bangkok-Hyderabad, [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] Bangkok-Luang Prabang and Bangkok-Changsha routes once it receives permission from the respective aviation authorities to operate to these destinations. Thai Airways has described the light adjustments in its winter schedule 2015/2016 as part of the company's transformation plan aimed at reducing losses by reducing operating costs, improving the sales structure and generating revenue. It currently has 50 routes which are operating at a loss and/or have less potential in profitability. It said the suspension of routes was considered using various criteria such as operating results over the past 10 years, market environment and competition, potential for development and connecting passenger numbers. The routes which have been suspended have been done so on a temporary basis, with the company to review these again after a period of time under the transformation plan. Thai Airways said once its operations had [http://mondediplo.com/spip.php?page=recherche&recherche=strengthened strengthened] and it was more confident of competing well to and from the respective destinations, it would resume the suspended flights. THAI continues to serve 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. Charamporn Jotikasthira, president of Thai Airways International, 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. [ ]

Many LGBT People In China Forced Into Illegal quot;conversion Therapy quot;...

BEIJING, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Many LGBT people in China are being forced to undergo "conversion therapy", often done by unscrupulous, unlicensed providers in a sector that operates with little oversight by the authorities, rights groups said. Though widely discredited by doctors, conversion therapy is an attempt to change a person's sexual orientation through various means such as hypnosis, drugs, acupuncture and even electric shock therapy. In China, the therapy is often offered by centres not licensed to practise medicine, as well as by public hospitals, in the absence of an outright ban. "It's not just a commercial scam, but an action that violates people's rights," said Wang Zhenyu, head of the Public Interest Law Center on Equal Rights for LGBTI, one of the groups that compiled the report. The National Health Commission did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Chinese authorities removed homosexuality from its list of diseases in the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] a national clinical guide, in 2001.

A programme manager at the other group involved in writing the report, Beijing Gender, said some centres illegally used electric shock therapy in their therapy. An activist named Peng Yanzi went undercover in a conversion therapy centre in 2014 and was forced to undergo electrotherapy. He then brought the case to court and won. There are at least 96 centres and hospitals across China that offer the therapy, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] the groups said in their report. They questioned health [http://photobucket.com/images/departments departments] in 25 cities with such centres to see if any had taken action against them and found no evidence of any in 17 of them. Four cities had punished medical institutions between 2017 and 2018 for practising psychiatry without proper credentials, among them the capital, Beijing and the southern city of Changsha in Hunan, the groups said.
