Deputy Transport Minister Thaworn Senniam

 

Deputy Transport Minister Thaworn Senniam today (October 10) instructed the national flagship carrier Thai Airways International (THAI) to complete its new rehabilitation and business plans within the next 30 days.

 

Thaworn made the order during a visit to THAI for a briefing of its financial status. 

 

He also ordered a monthly report on the progress of the carrier's plan to procure new aircraft. 

 

THAI directors on September 24 asked the executive board of the national carrier for a review of its plan to order 38 more aircraft worth a combined Bt156 billion.

 

Thaworn added that the new business plan must come with clear details of how to make THAI profitable again and ways to boost customers' satisfaction.

Did previous THAI business plans NOT come with clear details of how to make money? ????

Singapore Air 134 aircraft average age 6.9 years,  15,000 employees - profitable

  • Overstaffed ?
  • Not mass customer oriented, only oriented to woe and bootlick 1st class passengers ?
  • A few rude or inefficent cabin attendants who seem immune from losing their jobs ?
  • Unrealistic remuneration and salary benefits based on biased corporatism, but definately not based on individual employee performance/attitude ?

What's the rush ?

Maybe someone has decided, or discovered, that they don't have the cash, to keep bailing them out?

I'm pretty sure the blame will go on the farang drinking all the free beer on the plane soon

Sell it to someone who knows how to run an airline !

Rather like the country itself; poorly led, failing in all rankings, lost cause and little hope of any way back !

They finally admitted to having 19 inactive planes which includes the undesirable A340’s which have been collecting dust for years. Selling off the inactive planes is an important part of rehabilitation plan. When will they realize they have to bring in a non Thai with airline turnaround experience and full authority to make changes ?

So true. Let's start with the CEO. Appointed after a 2 year search, his main experience and claims to fame appear to be as president of a state-owned property manager and COO of GMM Grammy Plc. I wouldn't be surprised if the new business plan included free karaoke on all flights. The solution is simple Minister Thaworn. Forget asking for a new business plan until you have a board qualified and experienced enough to create an effective one!
