Thai Airways expects full post-floods recovery in January

Analysis

Thai Airways International is confident of a full recovery within the next few weeks from the Bangkok floods, which caused a big drop in traffic in November and a smaller drop so far this month.

Thai Airways reported a load factor of only 61% for Nov-2011, down 11 ppts from the 72% load factor recorded in Nov-2010.
