PTT teams up with THAI to develop cargo servicesNational oil and gas conglomerate PTT Plc is joining hands with national flag carrier Thai Airways International (THAI) to develop cargo services, with the ultimate aim of becoming a regional logistics leader. The national airline has decades of experience in providing cargo services for the industrial and agricultural sectors, as well as transporting products that require special care, notably vaccines and medicines. Despite the Covid-19 lockdown periods, THAI continued to operate its cargo services, using passenger aircraft as there were no commercial flights to help the company with its transport of goods, said Mr Suvadhana. In April this year, THAI saw its goods transport flights, including those transporting fruit, rise by 123% to 87, up from 39 flights in March. Mr Auttapol said PTT can integrate its experience in land transport and warehouse operation in the northeastern province of Khon Kaen with THAI's business.
