Thai Airways    
 

Thai Airways International is Southeast Asia’s leading airline, operating out of Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, a world class aviation hub of Asia. Its founding partnership with SAS in 1959 was one of the earliest airline alliances ever signed. Passenger volumes have increased tremendously since the company’s first flight on May 1, 1960. More than 18 million passengers have experienced its Royal Orchid Service across 73 destinations in 35 countries (figures excluding Bangkok and Thailand), including service to Europe, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, Australasia, the United States and Africa.
On May 14, 1997, Thai Airways International Public Company Limited and four other world leading airlines, namely Lufthansa German Airlines, United Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines System, and Air Canada, officially announced the formation of "Star Alliance", an intergrated worldwide air transport network. On October 26, 1997, Varig Brazillian Airlines joined the Star Alliance network as its newest member. Partnership between the six carriers was significant of forming the strongest airline alliance in the history of commercial aviation with the most extensive network covering major destinations over six continents.
