"In view of the gradual inbound recovery, TAA is taking measured steps for growth. It is reducing capacity on underperforming routes while shifting focus to domestic travel and high potential fifth freedom routes," Santisuk said. "Looking to the second half, we remain agile and ready to respond strategically to heightened competition from airlines and tourism-driven national policies across the region. It is expected second half profitability will be similar to the first half." The TAA fleet is planned to expand to 64 aircraft by December against 62 jets at present. The latest fleet guidance differs from TAA’s previous plan of operating 66 aircraft by year end.
