曼谷：泰国航空公司（Thai Airways）的首席执行官猜·埃姆斯里（Chai Eamsiri）因该公司在应对上周曼谷严重洪灾时的混乱表现而被董事会解雇，他周五向记者透露了这一消息。
BANGKOK: The chief executive of Thai Airways, Chai Eamsiri, has been fired by the company's board following the flag carrier's chaotic response to the heavy floods that hit Bangkok last week, he told reporters on Friday.
“董事会没有给出任何解雇的理由，”猜·埃姆斯里说道，“他们只是想查明工作中是否存在漏洞或错误。”泰国航空公司尚未对记者的评论请求作出回应。
"They didn't give a reason," Chai told reporters, referring to the board of the carrier, which met on Friday. "They want to see if there are gaps ... mistakes in the work carried out." Thai Airways did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
由于上周洪水导致员工无法正常上班，该公司本周被迫取消了数十个航班，并暂停了货运业务。
The airline had been forced to cancel dozens of flights this week and suspend its cargo operations, partly due to issues with its employees being unable to get to work when the floods hit last week.
在曼谷的素万那布米国际机场（Suvarnabhumi International Airport），洪水严重扰乱了航空公司的地面运营，导致大量行李延误，甚至需要空军协助来清理积压的行李。
Disruption to its operations at the main Suvarnabhumi Airport included huge baggage delays that required assistance from the Air Force to clear.

2026年9月29日，暴雨和洪水导致机场运营陷入混乱后，一名机场工作人员正在整理泰国航空公司的行李。 达到了320毫米，相当于该市整个九月份的平均降雨量。

泰国旅游部长苏拉萨克·潘查罗恩沃拉克（Surasak Phancharoenworakul）在周二特别批评了泰国航空公司：“我们需要讨论管理层应该如何更加积极主动地履行职责；如果他们不愿意履行职责，那就应该辞职。”猜·埃姆斯里曾公开为泰国航空公司在素万那布米机场的混乱表现道歉。他于1985年加入该公司，逐步晋升为首席财务官，并于2023年出任首席执行官。
"We need to discuss how the management needs to work more proactively," he told reporters. "If they don't want to do the job, then resign." Chai, who has publicly apologised for the chaos that hit Thai Airways' operations at Suvarnabhumi airport, joined the carrier in 1985, rising through the ranks to become its chief financial officer before being appointed CEO in 2023.
截至6月30日，泰国航空公司共运营着84架飞机，飞往27个国家的61个目的地。
As of June 30, the airline operated a total of 84 aircraft covering 61 destinations in 27 countries.
2020年，泰国航空公司进入了破产保护下的重组阶段，期间公司裁员了一半，并大幅缩减了机队规模。然而，其财务状况随后实现了好转。在完成债务重组计划后，该公司的股票于8月重新在股市上市交易。
In 2020, Thai Airways went into bankruptcy-protected restructuring, reducing its workforce by half and trimming its fleet, but went on to mount a turnaround in its finances. Its shares resumed trading on the stock market in August, after exiting its debt restructuring programme.
