Cheap Thai Airways International Flights (TG)

Thai Airways International is Asia's leading airline, operating out of Bangkok, the indisputable aviation hub of Asia and one of the world's most popular tourist cities. Its founding partnership with SAS in 1959 was one of the earliest airline alliances ever signed. After the first flight on May 1, 1960, passenger volumes have increased tremendously, contributing to THAI's 33rd consecutive year of profitable operations in 1997. More than 19.6 million passengers have experienced its Royal Orchid Service across 74 destinations in 35 countries. Within Asia, it now flies to more countries than any other airline, with convenient connections throughout Asia.

Wherever it flies, Thai traditions and culture fly with it. Each day, over 10,000 female passengers are presented with an orchid corsage before disembarking. Its Asian specialty meals and good wines are second to none, and its traditional THAI 'wai' greeting has become legendary.

The new corporate vision statement, "The First Choice Carrier: Smooth As Silk. First Time. Every Time," is becoming a reality by establishing a common direction, cooperation, and sense of purpose throughout the company.
