Thai Airways (TG/THA) is the flag carrier airline of Thailand. It commenced operations in its current form in 1988, though its origins stretch back to 1961. The airline serves over 60 destinations from its main hub at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). Let’s take a look at the makeup of the fleet at the beginning of 2025.
The Thai Airways fleet
Thai Airways operates a fleet of 85 aircraft as of January 2025, comprising a mix of Boeing and Airbus types, and including both widebody and narrowbody jets. The average age of the fleet is 10 years according to IBA Insight.
The newest aircraft
The newest widebody in the Thai Airways fleet is HS-TTC, a Boeing 777-300 built in February 2022. Based in Bangkok (BKK), the aircraft operates daily to destinations including Tokyo (NRT), London (LHR), and Osaka (KIX).
Thai Airways’ narrowbody fleet exclusively features the Airbus A320ceo – 20 in total, all built between 2012 and 2015 and powered by IAE V2500 engines. The newest narrowbody is HS-TXU, a 9-year-old A320232 built in October 2015. The aircraft typically operates 4 sectors (2 return flights daily) from Bangkok to airports including Phuket (HKT), Krabi (KBV) and Yangon (RGN).
The oldest aircraft
The oldest widebody jet in service at Thai is HS-TJR, an 18-year old Boeing 777-2D7(ER) built in October 2006. It’s fair to say that, based on recent images, the aircraft could do with a new coat of paint. In the meantime, the aircraft is operating daily from Bangkok to destinations including Hyderabad (HYD), Jakarta (CGK) and Manila (MNL).
The oldest narrowbody aircraft in the Thai fleet is another A320, HS-TXA. Built in June 2012, this aircraft operates daily flights from Bangkok to airports such as Phuket (HKT), Hat Yai (HDY) and Khon Kaen (KKC).
What about the A380?
The Airline holds 6 Airbus A380-800 jets on its books, the newest of which is HS-TUF, built in April 2013 as MSN 131. All of Thai Airways’ A380s are currently inactive and have been in storage at Rayong U Taphao Int’l (UTP) since 2020. Unlike many other notable operators such as British Airways and Lufthansa, Thai did not reactivate its A380 fleet following the Covid19 pandemic.
