People’s party questions why government wants control of THAI Airways

13 Sept 14:04 Key points summarised by AI

The opposition People’s Party questions the government's attempt to regain control of THAI Airways as the national carrier prepares to exit court-sanctioned rehabilitation.
The government proposes appointing two new managers to THAI's five-member planning panel, aiming to secure a majority vote on critical financial decisions.
This proposed majority would allow the government to control debt-to-equity swaps and share price reductions, potentially disadvantaging other creditors.
Concerns are raised about potential government interference in THAI's operations, recalling past financial losses from aircraft purchases, and the source of funds for new share capital.
The People's Party urges creditors to reject the proposed managers, arguing the planning panel should represent creditors' interests, not shareholders'.
