Thai Airways to open flight simulators to public

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Thai Airways is opening up its Boeing and Airbus flight simulators to the public this October in its latest bid to boost business amid the drop in travel demand due to the coronavirus crisis.

As part of the airline’s “Thai Flying Experience and Beyond” project, customers will get to enter a mock cockpit of an A380, B777-300ER, B747-400, and a B737-400 aircraft.

“Pilots and co-pilots will accommodate customers throughout the entire session,” reads a statement from the carrier.

According to Thai Airways, customers can choose from the following three packages:

  • Basic Package (30 minutes) 12,000 Baht for two users
  • Deluxe Package (60 minutes) 24,000 Baht for two users
  • Ultimate Package (90 minutes) 36,000 Baht for three users

The flight simulator project is the airline’s latest effort to generate revenue amid the Covid-19 pandemic as flights continue to remain grounded, and the airline looks to restructure 245 billion baht ($7.83 billion) worth of debt.

Earlier this month, the national airline converted the cafeteria of its headquarters in Bangkok into a plane-themed restaurant.
