Transport Thai Airways Appoints New 11-Member Board as ‘Chatchai’ Left Off Final List
File picture courtesy of Thai Airways. Thai Airways International Public Company Limited has announced the appointment of a new board of directors, following a resolution passed at its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held electronically. One of the key outcomes of the meeting was the decision to set the number of board members at 11, a figure deemed appropriate by the rehabilitation plan administrators. The new appointments were made from a pool of nine nominees, with eight selected based on highest individual vote counts: 1. Mr. Chai Iamsiri 2. Dr. Kulaya Tantitemit 3. Mr. Lawaron Saengsanit 4. Mr. Chakree Bamrungwong 5. Mr. Napakorn Thanasuwankasem (Independent Director) 6. Mr. Yanyong Detphiratmongkol (Independent Director) 7. Mr. Samrit Samniang (Independent Director) 8. Pol. Gen. Thatchai Pitaneelabutr (Independent Director) However, Mr. Chatchai Rojanavatanangkul, who ranked ninth in votes, did not make the final list due to the limit of 11 board seats. The remaining three positions are held by existing directors whose terms continue for another year: Mr. Piyasvasti Amranand, Mr. Chansin Treenuchagron, and Air Chief Marshal Amnaj Jira-maneemai. According to inside sources, the company will now proceed with registration of the board changes before convening a meeting to select a new chairman. With a significant number of new board members being representatives of the state sector, it is widely expected that the Ministry of Finance will nominate the next board chair. Thai Airways has met all key conditions required to exit its court-approved business rehabilitation plan, having achieved an EBITDA profit of over 20 billion baht over 12 months and returned to positive shareholders’ equity. The company has avoided any defaults and completed the appointment of a new board. It plans to file a petition with the Central Bankruptcy Court by the end of April and, if approved within the following 1–2 months, will hold a board meeting to formally exit the rehabilitation plan. This will be followed by a request to relist Thai Airways shares on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The airline’s outlook for Q2 2025 remains positive. Since early April, the passenger load factor (cabin factor) has stood at 87.3%, with European routes reaching as high as 94.8%, boosted by Easter holidays and school breaks. Although there has been a dip in Chinese passenger numbers, the impact has been limited due to a relatively small market share. A seasonal decline in passenger traffic is expected in May and June. Thai Airways’ largest shareholders remain the Ministry of Finance and state-owned enterprises, holding a combined 42.99%. Bangkok Bank holds 8.51%, while approximately 33.09% of shares are held by creditors who converted debt into equity. -- 2025-04-20 -

Accident Trailer Truck Carrying Ceiling Panels Crashes, Driver Crushed to Death
Picture from responders. A road crash has claimed the life of a 59-year-old trailer driver after his vehicle, heavily loaded with ceiling panels, veered off the road and overturned, fatally crushing him beneath the cargo. The incident occurred at approximately 22:30 on 18 April along the Asia Highway, near kilometre marker 15 in Ban Pa Bak, Moo 4, Thung Nari sub-district, Pa Bon district, Phatthalung province. Local police from Pa Bon Police Station and rescue personnel from Phatthalung’s emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, authorities discovered the truck and trailer, registered in Songkhla, lying off the side of the road. It had been carrying a full load of large ceiling panels. The driver, identified as Mr. Manop, was found dead at the scene, crushed beneath the very panels he had been transporting. Rescue workers spent more than 30 minutes using specialised equipment to remove the heavy panels and a fallen tree that had compounded the wreckage. Mr. Manop’s body was eventually recovered, showing extensive trauma. Reports stated that nearly all his bones were fractured, and his skull had been flattened by the weight. According to a fellow driver travelling in a separate vehicle from the same transport team, Mr. Manop had departed from Bangkok with a delivery bound for the Sadao border checkpoint in Hat Yai district, Songkhla. Shortly before the incident, Mr. Manop reportedly called and told his colleague that he was too tired to continue driving and planned to stop for a rest. The colleague drove on ahead, only to later receive the devastating news from police. Initial investigations suggest that the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel, causing the vehicle to veer off the road. However, police confirmed they would review CCTV footage in the area to determine the exact cause of the crash. Rescue personnel have since contacted the deceased’s family, and arrangements are being made to return Mr. Manop’s body to his hometown. -- 2025-04-20
