Apart from Thaksin, there are four other people suspected of being involved in the decision, Mr Niwatchai said. Between 2002 and 2004, Thaksin's cabinet approved THAI's plan to purchase 10 A340-500 and A340-600 aircraft worth about 53.5 billion baht. The purchase plan was submitted by Mr Suriya at the time. But THAI ended up suffering 39.8 billion baht in losses on all the routes, it said. On Wednesday, Thaksin appeared on Clubhouse again, discussing a topic on Thai politics and the future of young Thais.
