The board raised concerns that these aircraft models, being outdated, could prove uneconomical due to high maintenance costs.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the board approved hiring an external consultancy to assess the feasibility of leasing these aircraft and to review THAI\u2019s broader fleet strategy, which aims for a long-term fleet of 150 aircraft, as outlined in the airline\u2019s recovery plan. The consultancy will ensure the fleet strategy aligns with current market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The delay in aircraft procurement is expected to impact THAI\u2019s operations in the coming year. By 2026, 10 wide-body aircraft are set to retire, reducing the fleet from 58 to 47 wide-body planes. This reduction will directly affect THAI\u2019s capacity, potentially leading to a decline in revenues.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A source within THAI confirmed that during the October 23 meeting, the decision to approve the proposed lease,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96988,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[28298,114,85,46,64673,64672,64671],"class_list":{"0":"post-96987","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-aircraft","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-lease","13":"tag-thai-airways-thai","14":"tag-thai-airways-international"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
