Thai Airways International will acquire eight Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 12 Airbus A350s as part of a 37-aircraft acquisition worth Thai baht (Bt) 119 billion ($3.89 billion).
The Star Alliance carrier's board approved the planned acquisition today, said the airline, adding that it will proceed to acquire the aircraft immediately.
Thai plans to purchase 15 aircraft and acquire the remaining 22 on operating leases. It will purchase six Boeing 777-300ERs, to be delivered in 2014 and 2015, four Airbus A350-900s (2016 and 2017) and five Airbus A320-200s (2014 and 2015).
It also plans to acquire six 787-8s and two 787-9s from US lessor International Lease Finance (ILFC) on operating leases. The -8s will be delivered in 2014 and 2015, while the -9s will be delivered in 2017.

The airline will also lease six A320-200s from RBS Aerospace International, to be delivered in 2012 and 2013.
All the operating leases have terms of 12 years each, said Thai.

The 15-aircraft purchase is estimated to cost Bt49.5 billion, while the aircraft leases are worth Bt69.1 billion, it added.

Thai said the new aircraft acquisition would help it develop a modern, efficient and safe fleet. "In addition, acquiring new aircraft which are made from lightweight and non-corrosive composite materials to replace retiring aircraft will save fuel and maintenance cost," it added.

Thai Airways International has confirmed a deal to buy four Airbus A350-900 and five A320 aircraft.

The airline included these in a 13 June announcement about a 37-aircraft acquisition as part of its fleet modernisation programme.

It will operate the A350s on its long haul services to Europe, while the A320s will be used on domestic and regional routes, said Airbus.

The Star Alliance carrier also confirmed plans to lease eight more A350-900s and six more A320s.

Thai Airways said on 13 June that it will lease six A350s from Aviation Lease and Finance, to be delivered in 2017, and two from CIT Aerospace that will deliver the aircraft in 2016. It will also lease the six A320s from RBS Aviation Capital for delivery in 2012-2013.

The aircraft will deliver both lower operating costs and cleaner environmental performance, said Thai Airways' president Piyasvasti Amranand in the statement.

Thai Airways International has selected the International Aero Engines V2500 engine as it continues to expand its fleet of A320-series aircraft. Thai, the national carrier of Thailand, has placed an order for five purchased and six leased aircraft as it establishes new low-cost regional carrier Thai Smile.

First deliveries to Thai will commence in 2012, and the engines will be maintained under a fleet hour agreement and support programme. The deal is valued at $230 million.

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, is to power 20 new aircraft for THAI Airways International.

Rolls-Royce Trent XWB and Trent 1000 engines will power 12 Airbus A350 XWB and eight Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft which are part of THAI's fleet modernisation programme and will further improve the airline's operational and environmental performance.

Rolls-Royce Trent XWB and Trent 1000 engines will power 12 Airbus A350 XWB and eight Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft which are part of THAI's fleet modernisation programme and will further improve the airline's operational and environmental performance.

THAI President Piyasvasti Amranand said: "Our decision to add these extremely efficient Trent engines into our fleet demonstrates our continued commitment to achieve the highest standards of environmental performance across all our operations. This commitment was recently demonstrated with our first biofuel-powered passenger flight, using Rolls-Royce Trent 800 engines."

Nick Devall, Rolls-Royce, Chief Commercial Officer – Civil Aerospace, said: "THAI is an important customer for Rolls-Royce. We are pleased to supply THAI with highly efficient engines which will help the airline achieve its environmental and operational objectives."

When these engines are delivered, THAI will be an operator of every member of the Rolls-Royce Trent engine family: the Trent 500, Trent 700, Trent 800, Trent 900 – as well as the Trent 1000 and Trent XWB.

The Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 powered the 787 Dreamliner aircraft into passenger service for the first time in October and has accumulated more than 75 per cent of the aircraft's flight test hours.

The Trent XWB, the only engine available for the A350 XWB, is the fastest selling Trent ever with more than 1,100 sold. Test results have shown the engine to be the most efficient large civil aerospace engine ever produced.

The Trent family of engines has won about 50 per cent of the widebody aircraft market with a firm order book of more than 2,400 engines, and has accumulated more than 50 million hours of service.

Thai Airways (TG) on Dec. 21 completed its first biofuel flight, using a Rolls-Royce Trent-powered 777-200 from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International. The aircraft used biofuel supplied by Amsterdam-based SkyNRG – its first Asia Pacific customer and sixth publicly-announced airline customer.

“Thai believes sustainable jet fuel will play an important role in the transition to a sustainable future for aviation and is willing do its part,” TG president Piyasvasti Amranand said. “We intend to make sustainable jet fuel an integral part of our strategy.”

A second flight the next day operated between Bangkok and Chiang Mai was the first passenger biofuel flight in Asia, TG said.

“We think the Asia Pacific continent has great potential to give a critical boost towards making the market for sustainable jet fuel that is affordable,” SkyNRG MD Dirk Kronemeijer said.

• Le B777-200 /-200ER est vraiment un fabuleux avion qui a été délaissé par Boeing (à tort, comme tout le monde -- sauf les aveugles, bourrés de parti-pris -- le sait et le voit maintenant).
  
• Même Thai a commandé des A330 à moteurs RR Trent 772B -EP (c'est le renversement du B777-200 et des moteurs P&W sur ses premiers A330 ... ), moteur qui a précédé le RR Trent 800 dans l'historique du développement de la famille Trent.
  
• Pauvre B777-200 / -200ER ! Il est propulsé dans cet opération par un moteur de la famille RR Trent 800, "best-seller" sur ce type du B777 : 50% du marché de ce type, .... ce qui montre à quel point le RR Trent 800 avait taillé les croupières aux GE90 et PW4080 -4098 rivaux, malgré toutes les magouilles qui ont eu pour résultat d'assurer la certification tardive (bien plus tard que celles des deux familles rivales de moteurs GE & P&W), du moteur le meilleur, de loin le meilleur, des moteurs de cette génération (lire les conclusions des contributions des opérateurs aux enquêtes "Anti-Trust" de la CE sur les affaires que sont l'exclusivité-moteur ridicule accordée par Boeing aux GE90-115B / -110B de GE sur les B777-300ER / -200LR, et la fusion envisagée entre GE & Honeywell).
  
• 
  
• Thai est la Cie. de lancement de la famille Trent 800, et se trouve dans la région du monde destinée à nous montrer les taux de croissance les plus élevés du transport aérien des passagers pendant de longues années à venir.
  
• 
  
• Thai vient de passer une commande ferme (n'ayant rien à voir avec le mic-mic financier de la commande récente des 50 x B777-300ER, passée par Emirates, au Salon de Dubai, 2011) pour des moteurs RR Trent XWB pour ses A350-XWB commandés, et des RR Trent 1000 pour ses B787 commandés ; d'autres compagnies suivront, étant donné la commande massive des RR Trent 1000 par ANA, et celles de la région, déjà passées pour les Trent XWB par des Cies. de la région, telles que SIA, Cathay Pacific etc., sans oublier ANZ.
  
• Il est clair que RR reste encore plus fermement dans l'axe du respect de l'environnement dans ses R&D, R&T, et production des moteurs du futur.
