Thai Airways has taken possession of a new B777-300ER from Boeing – the 75th direct aircraft delivery from the American manufacturer.
The two companies collaborated to transport 1,000 wool blankets (donated by Another Joy Foundation) onboard the delivery flight to Thailand, as gifts of care for those in need.
"This is a very special delivery for us, our 75th direct delivery from Boeing, and we are excited to mark this occasion with another joint humanitarian flight," said Thai Airways’ president Charamporn Jotikasthira. "Thai Airways is thankful to Boeing and Another Joy Foundation for providing winter blankets and pleased that Thai Airways International can carry them to people in need in Thailand."
The new aircraft will be deployed onto the carrier’s existing network. Thai Airways has operated every variant of the “Triple Seven” model, and has two more B777-300ERs on order. These widebody aircraft are expected to replace the airline’s ageing fleet of B747-400s.
