Thai Airways suspends CEO amid Bangkok flood disruptions
Thai Airways has suspended its CEO Chai Eamsiri after severe flooding in Bangkok disrupted the airline's operations, and the board of directors has removed him from his position pending an investigation.1
The flood forced the airline to cancel dozens of flights and suspend cargo operations because employees could not reach their workplaces, while Suvarnabhumi Airport suffered major baggage handling delays that required air force assistance, prompting Tourism Minister Surasak Phancharoenworakul to publicly criticize the airline.1
