Thai Airways International aims to finalise a deal to buy at least 30 new aircraft by the end of the year and could double its fleet of narrow-body jets over the next decade, chief executive Chai Eamsiri said on Friday.
The airline will issue a “request for proposal” to Airbus and Boeing to buy 30 wide-body and an undisclosed number of narrow-body aircraft next week, Mr Chai said in an interview with Reuters at the airline’s headquarters in Bangkok.
