It is the national carrier of Thailand, operating out of its hub at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Thai Airways also offers many non-stop passenger flights from Chaing Mai International Airport, Don Mueang International Airport and Phuket International Airport.
Thai Airways International Public Company Limited was founded in'60 as a joint venture between Thailands domestic airline, Thai Airways Company and Scandinavian Airlines System. After a 17-year partnership, the Thai government bought SASs holdings making it the sole owner of the airline.
The first flights began operations from Bangkok to nine destinations within the Asian region. The first intercontinental flights were to Australia, then Europe and North American by'80. After a merger with the Thai Airways Company, the company experienced faster growth as Thailands only national carrier.
Thai Airways helped found the Star Alliance network in'97. Member airlines are able to offer more flights by codesharing with one another through this network.
