Anutin Charnvirakul, the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, disclosed that this afternoon Ekniti Nitithanprapas, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, will bring Samrit Saniang, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Thai Airways International Public Company Limited, to meet him for an introduction. He said he will ask about past problems, because Thai Airways is about to recover and has improving operating results, so he does not want anything to cause a disruption. The Prime Minister said that anyone coming in as an executive at this level must already be aware of the situation, and the government does not need to give instructions, only to listen to proposals and offer advice if there are any doubts. He also confirmed that the government cannot issue direct orders, because Thai Airways is an independent entity, with the Ministry of Finance as its largest shareholder. If the government wants to give policy, it will do so through the Ministry of Finance in its capacity as the major shareholder.
Thai Airways International Public Company LimitedPM to meet acting Thai Airways CEO over leftover baggage problems; no concrete development, only a planned introduction and discussion.
