Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (SET: THAI) is scheduled to hold a special meeting of its Board of Directors on Friday, October 2, 2026, with the agenda yet to be officially disclosed.
However, reports suggest that the board could discuss the company’s recent service disruptions and the handling of passenger services, including the possibility of reviewing the performance of Chief Executive Officer Chai Eamsiri.
According to reports, the board may consider suspending Chai from his position and appointing a committee to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the recent operational issues.
If such action is taken, the board could also consider appointing an acting CEO to ensure continuity in the airline’s management and operations during the review process.
The speculation comes after THAI encountered significant disruptions to passenger services, including flight cancellations and delays as well as problems with delayed baggage, during a period when flooding affected Bangkok and surrounding areas.
The reports have attracted considerable attention from the business community and the public, particularly regarding the potential implications for THAI’s management and operations.
THAI has not officially announced any decision regarding the suspension or removal of its CEO, nor has it confirmed that such matters are formally on the agenda of Friday’s special board meeting. Any changes to the company’s executive leadership would therefore remain subject to the board’s official decision.
