No idea how many Thai speakers/passively-fluent folks are on here, but I recently watched a rather interesting interview a famous-ish Thai YouTuber did with TG's CEO and figured it might be interesting to some people here:


Synopsis: a peek into the status of parked A380s (looks surprisingly okay for being parked in humid Thailand instead of a desert), why it would be cost-prohibitive to bring them back into service (CEO: A380s perfectly hit the 12-year maintenance mark when taken out of commission during Covid), why TG has turned a profit yet has not paid its debtors (CEO: debt repayment has to follow rehabilitation schedule), why TG once again will be acquiring new aircraft (CEO: pre-Covid fleet size was 103, end-of-year 2024 will be 79, end-of-year 2033 will be 51 with lease expirations; profit targets from the rehabilitation plan requires a fleet size of approx. 90), what is TG's strategy to compete with ME3 (CEO: via IST for connectivity to secondary-European markets via TK), what is TG's long-term strategy (CEO: turn BKK into a regional hub)
