With regards to Mr. Abhiradee's nomination and award of this year's Skytrax "World Airline Leadership Award," Skytrax said "We examined many different factors within the selection process and looked for the airline President or CEO who has achieved change and improvement through true hands-on leadership. THAI is undergoing a real metamorphosis in terms of quality change, and this is much more than just cosmetic improvement."

Furthermore, Skytrax added "Whist THAI is completing a corporate makeover and introducing new products across all cabins, this has to be allied to a new attitude amongst the whole THAI workforce - a fresh, invigorated and customer orientated style that THAI is famous for. It is quite clear that Mr. Abhiradee is leading and encouraging these changes by personal example, and we are delighted to honor him with the 2005 World Airline Leadership Award."
