THAI Smile, a subsidiary of Thai Airways International will become the first Airbus A320 commercial operator to benefit from Airbus’ Flight Hour Services Tailored Support Package (FHS-TSP).

The contract, which will run for 15 years, provides an extensive scope of A320 line replaceable units (LRUs) and spare parts availability, LRUs repairs, logistics services, tools availability, APU and nacelle services.

An on-site Airbus team will assist in daily spares management ensuring THAI Smile’s aircraft technical dispatch.

This latest selection by Thai Airways International re-affirms its confidence in Airbus’ Flight Hour Services, less than a year after signing an FHS-TSP contract for its A380s. It also marks an important step in Airbus’ FHS strategy to enter in the single-aisle market. Airbus’ FHS now covers more than 100 aircraft with operators of A320, A330, A340 and A380 fleets.

Captain Montree Jumrieng, Executive Vice President of Thai Airways International Technical Department, said, “With the experience and professional Flight Hour Services support already being demonstrated by Airbus on our A380 fleet, we are confident that this new Airbus FHS-TSP contract will likewise ensure that our A320 operations will run as smooth as silk.”

THAI Smile is a new service by Thai Airways International with a fleet of all new Airbus A320 aircraft. The carrier operates on routes within Thailand and to selected international destinations, providing connections with Thai Airways International and Star Alliance member airlines.
