Thai Smile Airways, a subsidiary of Thai Airways, is set to cease its flight operations by the end of this year. Announced by Thai Airways, the move involves Thai Smile’s 20 Airbus A320 aircraft being integrated into the parent company’s operations.


Starting December 31, Thai Airways will fully assume control of Thai Smile’s assets and services.

 

The transition process, expected to be completed by January 2024, will see Thai Airways managing nine domestic routes previously operated by Thai Smile. These routes will continue under the TG flight code until at least the end of March. Passenger seat and service reservations will be transferred to Thai Airways from December 16, with Thai Smile’s website services remaining active until December 15.

I fly Thai Smile exclusively domestically. Great on time service at very reasonable prices and generous luggage allowance. Hopefully all WE ground staff and air crew will be retained and integrated with full seniority into the TG workforce. I have flown the parent Thai Airways many times also and must admit that the Thai Smile cabin crews are much better, happier and helpful. They certainly lived up to the Smile name.

WE had accrued losses of THB 20 billion; TG recorded THB 10 billion profit - the banking crisis and the finance companies vs commercial banks springs to mind!
