I don't they need TG for that.
AI, TG, A3 and CA will continue to survive thanks to their countries financing it. SAA overdid it and is liquidating. I'm sure the S. African government will set up a new airline in a few years.
I thought A3 was profitable normally, although it may not be for this year. All of the big 3 Chinese airlines have weird ownership structures that result in them making money although the airlines themselves are highly unprofitable.
Reportedly he flew TG on his most recent trip to Thailand to attend a party and I've heard of reports where people are downgraded because the Thai royalty commandeered the F cabin.
