Just have a look at the number of Thai Airways planes parked up...there's so many.

The claims that Thai Airways have beaten the debt that they were crippled with, is fake.....they're lying and still have the massive debt which the Thai taxpayer will foot!

the 4 x 747s are probably unsaleable. Did they already get rid of the A 340s??

A lot (not all) of those planes parked up were used for domestic routes.

Quite possibly they're content on letting their THAI SMILE planes service those routes.

THAI SMILE supposed to be a "budget" carrier but they're no cheaper than TG.
