THAI gears up to restore image BANGKOK, Mar. 24 (TNA) – Thai Airways International Plc. (THAI), the national flag carrier, is moving to boost its image and sale volumes following a blast of one of its Boeing 737-400 aircraft early this month. THAI President Bhisit Kuslasayanon said in an official report released to the public that THAI was now focusing on restoring its image following the unfortunate incident, whose virtual cause has yet been exactly found out. The national flag carrier was also emphasizing on boosting its sale volumes after suffering a loss in its domestic flights due mainly to higher fuel prices, he stated. Deputy Transport and Communication Minister Pracha Maleenond, who oversees THAI, has delivered his policy on enhancing the efficiency of the national flag carrier so that it will maintain its honourary status as a leading airline of the world. However, all 15 members of THAI Board of Executives, including Bhisit, and Permanent Secretary for Finance Somchainuek Engtrakul, who is the board’s deputy, tendered their resignation on Wednesday, saying they want to open a way for a newly-appointed board to take office, and for the internal restructuring of THAI. The move, led by Permanent Secretary for Transport and Communications Srisuk Chantarangsu, who chairs the THAI board, will be effective as of April 1. Meanwhile, the National Police Office’s investigation team on the THAI aircraft explosion has declared that it has yet ruled out its earlier finding that the blast on March 3, which badly destroyed the Boeing 737-400 plane at the Don Muang International Airport, was a sabotage act, although an initial finding of U.S. experts indicating the explosion might have been caused by a malfunction of an air-conditioner, as no RDX substance, a key component of a C-4 bomb was not found in parts of the plane wrecks sent for them for inspection. “The police panel will continue its probe on the case, based on gathered evidences, including traces of RDX substance, despite the initial inspection result announced by the U.S. expert team”, National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Pornsak Durongkavibul told reporters. (TNA) |
