BANGKOK – Thai Airway International Plc (THAI) plans measures in response to the Covid-19 epidemic, which deals a blow to airlines with a drop in passenger numbers.
Earlier, operation employees of the national carrier saw their benefits affected after THAI temporarily cancelled its flights to several destinations, aimed at reducing losses due to smaller number of its passengers on fears of the virus
THAI president Sumeth Damrongchaitham said the company has closely monitored the overall situation of the virus. Meeting is held on the situation daily while appropriate measures are laid out to cushion an impact on its passengers, employees and the firm.
Urging THAI employees to have confidence on its administrators and also not to believe rumors, Mr. Sumeth said so far THAI has not yet announced on work reduction of its employees and the first measure it would adopt is to reduce salaries and benefits of senior executives.
