Strong fourth-quarter outlook for THAI

The fourth-quarter outlook for Thai Airways (THAI) remains strong, with a load factor of more than 80% driven by both foreign demand and Thai tourists opting for Asian countries, as China and Japan have remained popular destinations all year.

Kittiphong Sansomboon, chief commercial officer of THAI, said a strong baht and the visa-free scheme have helped attract Thai tourists to Asian destinations.

He said during the high season, most Thais tend to travel to short-haul destinations, mainly to Tokyo and Shanghai, while fewer opt for Europe.

During the first seven months of this year, Shanghai was the No.3 destination for Thai travellers, with a 10.1% share in this segment, up from sixth and 4.9% year-on-year.
