HISTORY

Page 4: Thai airways

Early beginning• Thai Airways International has its origins in 1960, when the airline was

a result of a joint venture between Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) which held a 30 percent share capital of 2 million Baht, and Thailand's domestic carrier, Thai Airways Company (Thai: เดินอากาศไทย) to create an international wing for Thai Airways.

• Thai nationals, through training and experience, were gradually able to assume full managerial responsibility and the number of expatriate staff duly reduced until, in 1987, expatriates accounted for less than one percent of staff based in Thailand.

• The carrier's first revenue-raising flight was on 1 May 1960. Flights were operated to nine overseas Asian destinations from Bangkok. The first intercontinental services started in 1971 to Australia, then to Europe the following year. Services to North America commenced 1980.

End of Joint Venture with SAS

• On 1 April 1977, after 17 years of capital participation by SAS, the Thai government bought out the remaining 15% of SAS-owned shares and Thai became an airline fully owned by the Thai government.

• Thai Airways has announced that it is trying to sell its fleet of four Airbus A340-500 aircraft which was used to fly between Bangkok and New York, but has not yet done so due to the world economic crisis and the weak market for an aircraft with a relatively high seat-mile-cost.
