Thai Airways' board dismissed CEO Chai Eamsiri on Friday over flight delays and a backlog of over 10,000 bags and cargo pieces during Bangkok flooding that began Sep 25. Samrit Samniang is acting CEO. The airline cancelled 24 flights on Oct 1-2 and plans full operations by Oct 3. It is also reviewing ground and warehouse staffing, especially multi-tier subcontracting and outsourcing. For most SMEs this is background news, but firms that ship cargo or depend on THAI for logistics should expect schedule and handling risk for a few days.
