Thai Airways to increase ticket prices by up to 15% on rising fuel costs

National carrier Thai Airways will increase fares by 10% to 15% to cope ‌with rising ⁠fuel prices ⁠and supply uncertainties, an executive said on Wednesday.

"Fare increases are fuel surcharges and are still within the ⁠price ceiling. ‌If fuel prices increases ⁠further, we can ask the regulator to raise this ceiling," Rath Rauksamrauat, Director Corporate Finance told investors.

The airline was ‌receiving more passengers as other carriers divert from Middle ⁠East airspace, he said.


Advance bookings in March were positive year on year, he said.
