Thai discloses budget for plan to acquire 15 aircraft
By Ghim-Lay Yeo

Thai Airways International plans to acquire 15 aircraft from now until 2014 with a budget of 35.5 billion baht ($1.1 billion).
Of the 15 aircraft, eight will have a capacity of 350 seats and will be acquired through operating leases for a period of 10 to 15 years, says the airline.
These eight aircraft will be operated on long-haul routes, it says.
The remaining seven will have a capacity of 300 seats, and will be acquired through financial leases with an investment budget of 31.3 billion baht, adds Thai.
It will operate these aircraft on regional services, it adds.
Thai has yet to decide on the aircraft types, says an airline spokeswoman.
The carrier had previously acquired five Airbus A330-300s, which will start operations this year. Another six Airbus A380s will join the airline's fleet from 2012 to 2013, says Thai.
It has also set a budget of 922 million baht for two engines for aircraft operating on regional routes, and a budget of 3.3 billion baht for three engines for aircraft operating on long-haul routes.
The airline's board approved the acquisition plan at a meeting on 8 February, says the carrier.
 
Immagino quindi che gli A330-300 (nuovi di fabbrica) in storage da qualche parte in Francia siano entrati in servizio o siano in procinto di farlo.

Thai's new A330s delayed due to seat problems
By Ghim-Lay Yeo

Thai Airways International has had the delivery of five new Airbus A330-300s delayed due to problems with aircraft seats manufactured by Japanese seat maker Koito Industries.
This comes as the Japanese government ordered the Yokohama-based company to review its business operations, after it was found to have falsified safety test results for seats on in-service aircraft.
Problems with Koito's seats have resulted in delays in the delivery of new aircraft to Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Singapore Airlines (SIA) as well.
Thai's VP of investor relations Raj Tanta-Nanta says the airline's five A330s should have been delivered by now.
"Three of them were supposed to come last year, followed by another one in January and another in February," he says.
"We heard that three of the five aircraft are ready, but without seats," he adds.
Thai is hoping that Koito will be able to install the seats within the next two months, says Tanta-Nanta.
"If worse comes to worst, we will have to find a new supplier but that would take another six months," he adds.
The delay to Thai's new aircraft is the latest episode in the fall-out from the controversy surrounding Koito, which has been ordered by Japan's transport ministry to stop the shipment of new seats while it reviews its safety procedures.
Japanese media reports say Koito had fabricated fire and shock resistance test data, by using figures from previous tests.
Up to 150,000 aircraft seats could be potentially involved in the falsification, which reportedly started as early as the 1990s, add the reports.
Officials at Koito were unavailable for comment when contacted. However, the company's president Takashi Kakegawa was reported to have apologised for Koito's actions at a news conference on 8 February.
Koito reportedly has seats installed on the aircraft of more than 30 carriers, but it is unclear if all of them had passed the fraudulent safety tests.
ANA, Japan Airlines (JAL) and SIA say they have aircraft with Koito seats on board, but do not have plans to stop operating these aircraft at the moment.
"We are liaising closely with the ministry and Koito to see what the next course of action is. If there is a need for repairs, we will follow accordingly. However, the ministry has told us we can still continue to use the aircraft," says a JAL spokeswoman.
The airline has 184 aircraft with Koito seats on board, she adds. These aircraft are Boeing 747-400s, 767s, 737s, 777s, MD-90s and Airbus A300-600Rs. Overall, 45% of JAL's aircraft seats were manufactured by Koito.
ANA operates 141 aircraft with more than 26,000 Koito seats, says a carrier spokeswoman.
Delivery of its new 777-300ER aircraft, to be fitted with Koito seats in premium economy class, has been delayed.
Singapore Airlines' 11th Airbus A380, due to be delivered this month, has also been delayed. Koito is supplying the business class seats on the aircraft.
There is no need for SIA's aircraft seats to undergo repairs at the moment, says a spokesman. "If there's a need in the future, we will comply," he adds.

Thai Airways unveiled a fleet plan designed to accommodate "increased competition over the next five years as well as open skies in Asia and various regions worldwide" and growing customer expectations. Through 2014 it plans to phase out six 747-400s, 10 A300-600s, four A340-500s, three 737-400s and two ATR 72s. It will take delivery of three A330-300s and six A380-800s during the same timeframe and said it plans to acquire an additional seven 300-seat planes for use on regional routes and eight 350-seat aircraft for intercontinental operations to Los Angeles and Scandinavia. From 2015 through 2019, Thai said it will phase out an additional 32 aircraft and add at least 38, and from 2020 through 2024 it will phase out 20 and add no fewer than 28.

Chiederanno altri soldi alle banche

Thai Airways is negotiating with both Airbus and Boeing for a possible record order of 30 aircraft, a Thai Airways executive said on Friday, deepening speculation over the potential USD$9 billion purchase.

Airbus has proposed A350 wide-body jets while Boeing has proposed its 787 Dreamliner, said the senior executive, who declined to be identified because the negotiations were private.

"We have to use more than 30 aircraft and we have asked Boeing and Airbus to propose details about their planes," he said, adding that the A350s could be used for heavy cargo routes and the 787s could be used on light cargo routes.

The orders, which would require delivery between 2015-2020, coincide with intensifying competition in Asia's skies.

Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific said this month it had placed orders for 30 Airbus aircraft at a list price of USD$7.8 billion and intends to exercise existing rights to buy six Boeing 777-300ER jets.

Thai Airways has already firmed up a previously announced commitment to buy seven Airbus A330-300 wide-bodied jets, worth around USD$1.5 billion.

The Thai Airways executive noted the A350 had not yet entered production while the 787 could be delivered in 2016, and that the state-controlled flag carrier was weighing up how each aircraft would fit with the airline's strategic and marketing plans.

"Thai Air management has to carefully consider the plane order and propose the plan to cabinet for approval," he said adding Thai Airways should be able to place the order by the end of this year.

Thai Airways, which plans to raise THB15 billion baht (USD$475 million) via a share issue, plans to launch road shows from September 4 to promote the share sales in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong and Singapore, the executive said.

The offer price is expected to be concluded through a book-building exercise by September 16 with a subscription period from September 17-22. The new shares are expected to be traded from October 4, according to documents approved by the airline's board.

THAI to buy 37 new aircraft; effect 7% salary increase for staff

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BANGKOK, Jan 15 -- Thai Airways International Public Co, Ltd (THAI) has decided to buy 37 new aircraft to replace 46 ageing planes and expand routes as part of its strategic and investment plans covering 2011-2017, while it has raised staff salaries by up to seven per cent this year, according to THAI President Piyasvasti Amranand.

Mr Piyasvasti told journalists after a board meeting Friday that THAI plans to further develop its aircraft efficiency during the seven-year period by ordering 37 new aircraft and decommissioning 46 existing aircraft with an aim to making its business more efficient in future. After the planned purchase, the national carrier will have a total of 105 aircraft from 85 at present.

Senior executives of THAI are now mapping details on the specifications of the aircraft which the airline requires. The entire process is expected to be completed next month, he said.

The board also approved paying a three-month salary bonus to its staff, which would cost the airline Bt4.25 billion, and raising staff salaries by seven per cent, costing the airline about Bt60 million monthly, he said.

The board also acknowledged at the meeting that THAI’s passenger load last December rose 1.6 per cent from the same period of 2009, up 4.1 per cent from a month ago.

THAI shares closed on Friday on the Stock Exchange of Thailand at Bt45.75, down Bt0.75 from Thursday. (MCOT online news)
