    [BANGKOK] Nearly five years after filing for bankruptcy protection, Thai Airways International is on schedule to exit its rehabilitation programme and relist on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) by the second quarter of 2025.

    It has been a turbulent journey, and observers said the path to recovery for Thailand’s national carrier promises to be anything but smooth.
