THAI Airways Confirms Safety of Airbus A350 Fleet

THAI Airways assures the public that its 23 Airbus A350 aircraft are safe and operational, following routine inspections. This follows Cathay Pacific's temporary suspension due to engine concerns in their A350 fleet, affecting 15 out of their 48 aircraft. THAI CEO Chai Eamsiri confirmed that no abnormalities have been found in their aircraft, and they will continue to monitor the situation and maintain high safety standards.
On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, THAI Airways International's CEO Chai Eamsiri confirmed that the airline continues to operate its fleet of 23 Airbus A350 aircraft without issues.

This reassurance comes after Cathay Pacific temporarily suspended its Airbus A350 operations for engine inspections, following the cancellation of flight CX383 from Hong Kong to Zurich due to engine concerns.

Cathay Pacific identified that 15 out of their 48 Airbus A350 aircraft required component changes, and repairs are underway.

Chai emphasized that THAI's maintenance team conducts regular safety inspections on their Airbus A350 aircraft, with no abnormalities found to date.

He pledged to monitor the situation closely and maintain rigorous safety standards.
