The code-sharing collaboration among three member airlines of the THAI group is expected to boost the group's overall revenue by 5% over the next two years. The group consists of Thai Airways International Plc (THAI), Nok Air Plc and THAI Smile Airways Co.Usanee Sangsinkeo, acting president of THAI, said the THAI group expects to meet its revenue projection within the next one or two years, once all three airlines are able to cover more routes under the code-sharing agreement. "In the future, the three airlines will expand their code-sharing collaboration under the THAI group for all domestic routes," she said. The code-sharing deal is also expected to increase average cabin factor in the first quarter of this year. The airline estimates cabin factor for 2017 at 80%, up from 73% in 2016, and forecasts this year's cabin factor at about 80%.
