About Thai Airways

Founded in 1960, Thai Airways, also styled as "THAI", is Thailand's national flag carrier airline. Their primary hub is Suvarnabhumi Airport based in Bangkok, but they also maintain a secondary hub at the airport on the Thai island of Phuket. The fleet of aircraft operated by Thai Airways consists mostly of Airbus and Boeing jets. They offer international flights to 63 destinations in 36 different countries. These countries are located in three world regions: the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe.

As a founding member of the Star Alliance airline partnerships scheme, Thai Airways range of international destinations is vast due to a large number of codeshare partnerships with other major airlines, including Air Canada, Japan Airlines, Emirates, and Air New Zealand. The airline also operates domestic flights to ten destinations, including Chiang Mai, Udon Thani, and several major southern destinations, such as Phuket and Koh Samui. Their domestic southern routes enable a large number of tourists to travel from Bangkok to many of the kingdom's popular mainland and seaside island resorts. Thai Smile is a subsidiary airline owned and operated by Thai Airways. They are also a major shareholder of Nok Air, a low-cost airline, of which they hold 39% ownership of the company.
