BANGKOK, 8 March 2021: Thai Airways International Airways estimates it will cut another 6,000 to 7,000 jobs this year, reducing the workforce to around 14,000 employees. Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI) acting president, Chansin Treenuchagron, revealed cost-cutting measures last week after the airline submitted its financial rehabilitation plan to the official receiver to comply with the Central Bankruptcy Court order. The reductions follow an earlier round late last year when the airline cut the workforce from 29,000 to 21,000 employees. The airline is reducing jobs to approximately 14,000 to 15,000 and is optimising the pilot pool to be in parallel with new fleet and flight hour requirements.
