Central Bankruptcy Court endorses THAI’s rehabilitation filing and planners

13 Sept 11:25 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Central Bankruptcy Court officially approved Thai Airways International's (THAI) debt rehabilitation filing and its proposed rehabilitation planners.
The court acknowledged THAI's strong business structure, experienced workforce, and industry reputation, attributing its financial difficulties to intense market competition and the COVID-19 pandemic, rather than operational issues.
Crucially, several creditors, including aircraft lessors, have expressed support for the rehabilitation, agreeing to suspend or postpone lease payments to enable the airline's continued operation.
This approval initiates a legal process where appointed planners, including EY Corporate Advisory Service and a team of experts, will now develop a comprehensive and fair rehabilitation plan for all creditors.
