Summary · why it matters

The Thai Airways board has ordered the removal of Chai Eamsiri from the CEO position and appointed Samrit to take over, after the flood crisis damaged its reputation and operations. The board also opened the way for a full fact-finding investigation and immediately changed the authority to sign binding commitments on behalf of the company. Most recently, Thai Airways signed a contract with EEC to proceed with the U-Tapao aircraft maintenance centre, investing 10 billion baht on 210 rai of land, targeting construction in 2027 and the opening of the centre in 2030, with capacity to service 90 aircraft per year and generate revenue of 4,000 to 5,000 million baht. It also issued relief measures for passengers affected by the floods, including flight changes, full refunds, and compensation for delayed baggage. Among other stocks to watch, MRDIYT hinted at bright third-quarter 2026 results driven by branch expansion, while OR teamed up with CENTEL to develop budget hotels, starting with six pilot locations at prices from 800 to 1,300 baht per night, aiming to expand to 50 locations by 2031. AWC filed a filing with the SEC to establish the AWR trust, expecting net cash flow of more than 30,000 million baht, and WP completed its share buyback in full, 1.5 million shares, or 2.94%, worth 57.08 million baht.
