Chairman’s Statement
D
uring the last decade, a lot of major events have occurred that have had a tremendous affect on Thai Airways International Public Company Limited. They include the emergence of airline alliances, the Information Technology System Development to cope with Year 2000, the economic crisis in Thailand, East Asia and Southeast Asia, the tougher competition in the airline business to maintain and expand customer bases, and the government policy on privatization of state enterprises in which THAI has been selected as the pioneer enterprise resulting in the reorganization of its top management as well as Board of Directors. Considering its financial performance during the past few years and in Fiscal Year 2001/02, the results have obviously reflected the fact that Thai Airways International has developed its potential impressively by turning crises and threats into business opportunities. Based on the optimum satisfaction, safety and conveniences of its valuable customers, Vision and Mission have been designed in long-term strategic plan to serve as a business operation frame for all units. The full-scale reorganization of Thai Airways International into 5 business units is aimed at enhancing efficiency and flexibility in management and operations. Each unit must understand and analyze competition in the market, and clearly map out respective direction with tangible goals and business plans. Concurrently, the company has continuously further developed its service quality by means of international standard quality control systems and has introduced innovative services via internet and made preparation to offer 23% more of its shares to the public in line with the privatization policy of state enterprises. Significantly, Thai Airways International has successfully maintained its reputation for service excellence in many aspects as it was voted the best airline in the Asia-Pacific Region, the best inter-continental airline for the second consecutive year and the favorite airline in passenger surveys by several International travel magazines. Those successes clearly reflect Thai Airways International’s high level of dynamism, the strength of individual business teams and its readiness to respond to innovative policies from top management, the Board of Directors and shareholders and to adapt the entire organization to keep abreast of on-going changing competition. I strongly believe that these events, as well as the dramatic changes in the company’s top management and Board of Directors during last year, do not present any difficulties for such a highly successful firm as Thai Airways International. On the contrary, they become excellent opportunities for the teams to apply the constructive guidelines of the top management and Board of Directors, albeit the good governance, the optimum management of foreign exchange, the effective budget and expenditure management and so forth. Furthermore, the situation has encouraged the company to develop customer-focused guidelines in their operations and services to achieve its goal of becoming the world’s leading airline. I wholeheartedly thank the management of all levels, company-wide staff, shareholder, airline alliances and business partners for their cooperation and continued support for the company’s success. Hopefully, we will continue to receive such cooperation and support to achieve our goals of the customers’ optimum satisfaction, safety and convenience.

Message from the Management
D
espite the highly competitive situation in the airline business, under the policy of effective budget and expenditure control and its recent comprehensive reorganization, and with full participation of all staff, Thai Airways International registered many favorable business performance results reflecting its potential, competitiveness and reputation for service excellence with unique Thai style and hospitality. According to a survey of passengers and foreign travelers, conducted by a Danish Research Institute, Thai Airways International was rated the best inter-continental airline for the second consecutive year and voted the favorite airline in a survey by Holiday Asia Website. Additionally, it was ranked one of the three best airlines in the Asia-Pacific Region in a survey conducted by the Business Traveler Asia-Pacific Magazine. These results come from the cooperation with both domestic and international airline alliances, the flight planning system (to analyze and calculate flight schedules and fuel consumption of each flight to maximize the utilization of the existing fleet) the standardized maintenance of aircraft to be in excellent condition and the introduction of new flights and destinations as well as expanded international routes. Successfully increasing flight frequencies to many high traffic destinations, Thai Airways International re-assessed the aircraft models in service on each route to match capacity with demand. The award given by Airbus Industries to Thai Airways International in recognition of the utilization of its Airbus Model 330 in Asia for the highest income-generating flying hours with 99.3% punctuality is a concrete proven record in comprison with commmercial airlines worldwide. The company has comprehensively developed various systems such as air cargo and postal service, self-service ticketing and check-in, advanced passenger processing, a centralized intelligent fare system. IT systems and infrastructure to support customer services, internal management, investment management, operations and HRD management. It also emphasizes security measures for IT systems and contingency plans. Despite the acclaimed successes, Thai Airways International is determined to go further to become Asia’s leader in the airline business under its five year Strategic Direction Towards Asian Leadership with three major objectives. Firstly, it is to maintain and further develop its accomplishments in all business aspects. Secondly, the emphasis is put on its role to create a positive image of the country in the area of service and to satisfy its passengers and customers. Last but not least, it is to promote tourism for the country in cooperation with other relevant agencies. The company is set to increase its income from 129,000 million Baht in 2002 to 200,000 million Baht in the next five years. To achieve the above objectives and goals, all business units have mapped out aggressive plans to increase the company’s overall income. Concrete examples are the launch of new routes and destinations in growing markets, an extension of existing routes, the flight planning system for fleet optimization and cost-reduction, in-flight service improvements, a project to invest 2,688 million baht in a new aircraft service / maintenance project and a project to build a new warehouse at Suvarnbhumi Airport. An expansion of customer base for aircraft maintenance services, Puff & Pie Bakery Franchise project and the IT system development to provide excellent service and convenience to customers are also among the list. An essential plan is to develop personnel to acquire more expertise in their respective areas, to enhance their effectiveness and efficiency and become more culturally aware in order to effectively provide service satisfying customers from different cultures and to streamline the organization and the internal management to be able to quickly respond to competition and the ongoing changes in markets and world situations. I am proud to be a member of Thai Airways International and strongly believe in THAI’s potential to further develop the organization. I am prepared to utilize all of my knowledge, capability and experience to help Thai Airways International Public Company Limited to achieve its goal of Asian Leadership, becoming one of the world’s leading airlines.

Review of 2001/02 Operations
Operating Fleet During the last fiscal year, the fleet remained at 81 as the delivery of the latest two Boeing 747-400 took place before the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company tremendously improved the utilization of the existing fleet to accommodate a growing traffic volume on some routes and increased its flight revenue. For example, Boeing 747-400s replaced the entire fleet of Boeing 777-300s on the Bangkok-Sydney-Auckland route, with its increasing traffic, and the Boeing 737-400 fleet was replaced with Airbus 300-600 on the afternoon flight Bangkok-Kuala Lumpur to increase capacity. Four more flights from Bangkok to Shanghai were added and the carriers’ Airbus 300-600s were changed to a higher passenger capacity fleet of Airbus 330-300s. As a result, 2 flights a day to Shanghai are available for a higher number of passengers.

Other services are the Advanced Passenger Processing to facilitate passengers to Australia for faster Australian immigration processing, and such operation-supporting information technology as the Centralized Intelligent Fare which enhances the complete information of special airfares for the reservation and air ticketing systems. This will enable ticketing at the Company’s sales office and agents’ to be faster and more accurate.

The Company also promotes Thai Food and other products among foreigners with an emphasis on the benefits and properties of Thai herbal ingredients. Thai Airways International is preparing to provide “Instructions on Safety on Board” in Braille on all aircraft types in the fleet to ensure that all customers are equally attended. In cooperation with the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s “Be My Guest” program, the Company held training sessions on the 2001/02 tourism plan for their flight attendants so they could effectively disseminate information on tourism in Thailand to passengers and interested foreigners. The Company provided special services for such current events such as the FIFA World Cup 2002 final match, co-hosted by South Korea and Japan. Training on facilitation procedures and measures to handle situations both on board and at airports were provided to staff in accordance with guidelines from the International Air Transportation Association (IATA). The procedures, certified by R.E.A.C.T. system, were to boost confidence among passengers as it was anticipated that a great number of tourists and football fans would attend the match. In response to network expansion to various destinations in the People’s Republic of China, Thai Airways International will in the future recruit flight attendants from that country for the convenience of Chinese passengers and to increase effectiveness of services for this target group. At present, foreign flight attendants include Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese.

In this fiscal year, the Company has restructured its organization into the main business: the core airlines business and other 5 business units, namely the Technical Services, Cargo Operations, Catering Services, Ground Support Equipment Services and Customer Services to streamline its operations.
Airlines Business Situation and Competition The tragic events on 11 September 2001 in the United States have had adverse impact on the airlines industry worldwide. A number of American and European airlines declared bankruptcy. However, while briefly affected for about three months after the tragedy, Asian airline operations improved due to an economic recovery in the region. The airline business overall in this region has been quite satisfactory. Despite an increased number of domestic airlines, the competition on domestic routes is amicable. Thai Airways International this year discontinued some domestic flights to pave the way for private airline operations. Competition on international routes was tougher, especially with the national airlines of destination countries. Thus, the focus has been on such competitive edges as reputation, reliability, service quality, safety, flight schedules, airfares and mileage programs. The competition in the future will be even higher as it will not just be at airline level, but at a level of airline alliances which have cooperated to expand flight networks, reduce costs and enhance service efficiency. As passenger behavior is geared for a variety of different products and services, each airline has emphasized its products and services development and utilization of information technology in response to customers’ needs.

Risk Factors Risks from Oil Price Fluctuation Oil is an essential raw material for air transportation. The oil price fluctuation, which depends on demand and supply of oil in world markets, as well as on international political situations ; major oil producing Middle East countries in particular, has directly affected the company’s operations. Thai Airways International uses hedging to help minimize the impact of oil price fluctuation. Risks from Foreign Exchange Fluctuation The Company has a rather high proportion of long-term debts and operating expenses in foreign currency. Fluctuation of exchange rates between Baht and other foreign currencies will have an effect on the afore-mentioned expenses, when considering in terms of Baht. Thai Airways International has mapped out a policy to keep foreign currencies from its operations in proportion with expenses in respective currencies. Moreover, the Company maintains an excess of cash in major and stable currencies, such as US dollars, Japanese yen and Baht, which impact on its operations to reduce risks from foreign exchange rate fluctuation. Risks from Regulations and Controls by Aviation Supervising Organizations With its extensive international routes to various countries, Thai Airways International has to comply with different aviation regulations in different countries. Changes in or additions of any airlines-related regulations in relevant countries may incur expenses in aircraft modifications.
Structure of Shareholders and Management Shareholders Thai Airways International has a registered capital of 17,000 million Baht or 1,700 million units of ordinary shares at 10 Baht per share with the paid-up capital of 14,000 million Baht or 1,400 million ordinary shares.

Results of Operation During the fiscal year 2001/02, the world’s sluggish economy and impact from crisis in the United States have intensified competition in the aviation business. However, Thailand’s tourism situation has not been slow due to the constant growth of tourists in this region and from Europe and Australia. This is also because the Company has adopted strategies to enhance performance efficiency. Consequently, registered income was almost equivalent to the previous year with profit from sales and services of 18,688 million Baht, an increase of 6,461 million Baht or 52.8% when compared to that of the previous year. In addition, the strengthening Baht value as of the fiscal year end when compared to the same date of the previous year enabled the Company to enjoy a profit from foreign exchange of 2,410 million Baht, compared to a 3,910 million Baht loss in foreign exchange in fiscal year 2000/01. Due to the lowering interest rates in the financial market, Thai Airways International Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries recorded profit before income tax of 14,416 million Baht with a 10,182 million Baht net profit, an increase of 8,253 million Baht over the previous year. Net profit per share equaled 7.27 Baht.
Financial Position Assets The Company and its subsidiaries had total assets, as of the 2002 fiscal year end, worth 178,410 million Baht, a 148 million Baht or 0.1% increase over the last year. This is because
-
Current assets rose by 8,104 million Baht or 23% mainly due to cash
and bank equivalents increase of 12,089 million Baht
-
Non-current assets decreased by 7,956 million Baht or 5.6% mainly
due to the decrease in net book value of land, buildings and equipment in addition to reduction in concessions for acquisitions of aircraft and engines as the realized and unrealized benefits from aircraft received was transferred from accounts.
Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity The Company and subsidiaries have a total liabilities of 150,056 million Baht, a decrease of 10,195 million Baht or 6.4% mainly due to 99,604 million Baht of long-term loans reduce by 15,296 million Baht or 13.3% from the previous year. Of this amount, there were 20,628 million Baht liabilities due within one year. The Company shareholders’ equity as of 30 September 2002 amounts to 28,229 million Baht, when combined with a 125 million Baht value of minority interest, the total shareholders’ equity totaled 28,354 million Baht, a 10,343 million Baht or 57.4% rise as a result of the Company’s net profits in fiscal year 2001/02. Debt to equity ratio as of the fiscal year end dropped to 5.29 times, when compared to 8.90 times as of the same date of the previous fiscal year. This is because liabilities declined while shareholders’ equity increased.

Transportation expenses of 107,949 million Baht dropped by 6,480 million Baht or 5.7% when compared to those of the previous year. Major causes are:
-
25,995 million Baht flight operating expenses was lower by
3,588 million Baht or 12.1%. Of this number, 76.8% resulted from fuel cost reduction of 4,304 million Baht or 17.7% because the average fuel price was about 20% lower than the previous year whereas insurance premium increased by 989 million Baht or 123.3% because of the 11 September 2001 event.
-
Marketing expenses of 10,832 million Baht decreased by 3,441
million Baht or 24.1% due to a wider application of a net sales system hence reducing agents’ commission. Moreover, the company’s policy on reduction of overall expenses affected advertising and public relations budget.
-
A total of 8,427 million Baht of lease of aircraft and spare parts
expenses dropped by 3,219 million Baht or 27.6% due to the lower interest rates. It is partly because the number of aircraft under bridge lease contracts was lowered as they were rearranged to be on lease financing. This resulted in 8,692 million Baht aircraft depreciation increasing by 623 million Baht or 7.7%.
-
Overhaul and maintenance of 15,998 million Baht grew by 2,104
million Baht or 15.1% because of higher flight operating hours and warranty expiration for more engines.
-
Expenses for Ground Services were 19,652 million Baht, a 1,118
million Baht or 6.0% increase mainly because the expansion of destination network incurred higher airport and navigation fees. Additionally, navigation fees over European countries became higher. Other expenses, excluding profit from foreign exchange, totaled 1,572 million Baht, an increase of 759 million Baht or 48.3% over the previous year mainly due to severance pay for early retirees.
Change in Accounting Policy In this fiscal year, the Company has changed its accounting treatment on deferred tax, previously transferred only a portion utilizing for the year from retained earning, to record at a total amount in deferred tax account. Also, the Company has restated its 2000/01 financial statements, shown for comparative purpose. As a result, retained earnings at the beginning of the fiscal year 2001/02 and 2000/01 increased by 5,381 million Baht and 6,434 million Baht, respectively.
