BANGKOK, Feb 22 (TNA) – Thai Airways International
Plc (THAI) plans measures in response to the Covid-19 epidemic, which deals a
blow to airlines with a drop in passenger numbers.
Earlier, operation employees of the national carrier
saw their benefits affected after THAI temporarily cancelled its flights to
several destinations, aimed at reducing losses due to smaller number of its
passengers on fears of the virus
THAI president Sumeth Damrongchaitham said the company
has closely monitored the overall situation of the virus. Meeting is held on the
situation daily while appropriate measures are laid out to cushion an impact on
its passengers, employees and the firm.
Urging THAI employees to have confidence on its
administrators and also not to believe rumours, Mr. Sumeth said so far THAI has
not yet announced on work reduction of its employees and the first measure it
would adopt is to reduce salaries and benefits of senior executives. (TNA)
