Thai Airways will take delivery of its first Airbus A380 today and has announced the routes on which it plans to deploy the aircraft.
The Star Alliance carrier will first operate the A380 on one of its daily services on the Bangkok-Hong Kong and Bangkok-Singapore routes from 6 October to 14 December.
On 15 December, the aircraft will then be deployed on a daily Bangkok-Frankfurt service.
