History of Thai Airways

Thai Airways began as a joint contract between Scandinavian Airlines System and Thai Airways Company. It was not until 1971 that the first intercontinental flight took place, bound for Australia. The following year connections were made to Europe and then later in 1980 to North America. In 1977 the Thai government bought out SAS and the airline became fully owned by the government. In 2005 the airline went through a re-branding period, changing its logo and livery, at the same time as the arrival of several new aircraft. The same year Thai Airways added new cheap flights to New York City, which have now been discontinued, leaving Los Angeles the only North American destination.
