Thai Airways International Public Company Limited adjusted its fuel surcharge
on international and domestic flights, effective as of 25 June 2008 onwards,
due to the increase in jet fuel cost in the world market that has increased
on a regular basis.
Mr. Pandit Chanapai, THAI’s Executive Vice President, Commercial Department,
said that it was necessary for the company to adjust its fuel surcharge, which
reflects the increase in fuel costs due to increased fuel prices in the world
market that has risen on a regular basis. The company has continually made
consideration to the impact this decision would have on passengers, which is
why the company took considerable responsibility to assist in these increases
in order to affect passengers as least as possible. Therefore, the company has
adjusted its fuel surcharge for international and domestic flights, calculated on
all classes of passenger travel on THAI flights and air tickets issued by THAI’s
sales and ticketing offices worldwide, which is based on the policy agreed
upon by the Civil Aviation Department for commercial airlines and includes
