Thai Airways Secures 44 Billion Baht to Propel Post-Rehabilitation Future

Thai Airways International (THAI) has secured approximately 44 billion baht through a share rights offering, marking a significant milestone in its recovery journey. The move is set to bring the national carrier closer to exiting its court-supervised debt restructuring process and resuming stock trading by mid-2025.


Thai Airways Share Rights Offering: A Major Step Forward

Raising Capital Through Share Sales

Thai Airways is offering 9.82 billion new shares to existing shareholders at 4.48 baht per share. This capital infusion represents the final phase of its restructuring, aimed at ensuring financial stability and market re-entry.

“This marks a critical step before the airline resumes operations as a publicly traded entity,” said a Cabinet source.


Government’s Role: Strategic Investment Without State Enterprise Status

Maintaining a National Flag Carrier

The Thai government has announced plans to increase its investment in Thai Airways while ensuring it does not revert to a state enterprise.

  • Current Stake: The Finance Ministry holds 47.9% of THAI shares.
  • Post-Restructuring: The ministry, the Vayupak Fund, and the Government Savings Bank will collectively own around 40% of the airline.

“This structure ensures Thai Airways remains a national flag carrier while avoiding direct state control,” confirmed Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira.


Debt Conversion and Shareholder Dynamics

Debt-to-Equity Swap Secures Creditor Support

Thai Airways’ creditors have agreed to convert approximately 53 billion baht of debt into equity as part of the rehabilitation plan. This move aligns with THAI’s efforts to stabilize its financial position.

  • The Council of State approved the recapitalization as a legitimate component of the restructuring process.
  • Despite debates over the Finance Ministry’s voting rights during the creditor meetings, officials clarified that the debt-to-equity swap remains incomplete, allowing the ministry to retain creditor status.

Path to Recovery

  • THAI is expected to exit rehabilitation by February 2025.
  • The airline plans to resume stock trading by May 2025, paving the way for a return to the public market.

Broader Implications for Thai Airways

Strengthened Financial Position

The successful share rights offering bolsters Thai Airways’ financial resilience, ensuring the airline’s ability to navigate post-rehabilitation challenges.

National Pride and Strategic Vision

The government’s balanced approach highlights its commitment to preserving Thai Airways’ status as a national carrier while encouraging operational independence.


Soaring Toward a Brighter Future

Thai Airways’ 44 billion baht share rights offering symbolizes its steady progress toward financial recovery and operational excellence. With strong government support and strategic restructuring, the airline is poised to regain its position as a leading player in the global aviation market by 2025. This pivotal moment underscores THAI’s resilience and its importance to Thailand’s economic and cultural identity.
