Thai Airways Sees 2008, 2009 Revenues Weaker
December 22, 2008
Thai Airways said on Monday the global economic crisis and recent shutdown of
Bangkok's main airports would pull 2008 revenue growth below 10 percent, and
the impact would continue in 2009.
The airline would miss its revenue growth target of 3-5 percent next year,
Executive Vice President Pandit Chanapai told reporters, saying he was still
working on a new figure.
"The target will have to be revised as we accept that global economic
slowdown will certainly affect us. But we will use every way to win back
tourists," Pandit said, adding it would increase overseas flights to India
and the Middle-East.
The airline expects to lose about THB 500 million baht a day from the
week-long siege by anti-government protesters that paralysed Thailand's
tourism industry in the middle of the peak season and stranded more than
230,000 travellers.
The national carrier also said its "cabin factor" -- the percentage of seats
sold -- would fall to 70 percent this year from a previous forecast of 73
percent, and compared to 77 percent in 2007, Pandit said.
The airline was reconsidering its 10 year business plan, including aircraft
arrangements to match real demand, Pandit said, without giving further
details.
The airline has said it plans to lease or buy 34 Boeing and Airbus passenger
planes as part of a 10 year plan to replace its fleet.
It said in January it wanted to procure 65 aircraft worth THB400 billion to
upgrade its 91 plane fleet over the next 10 years.
