Revenue
For the first quarter of 2022, THAI and its subsidiaries generated THB11,181 million in revenue, excluding the one-time transactions. The result was higher than last year by THB6,797 million or 155%, mainly due to an increase in both passenger and cargo revenue.
Expenses
The total operating expenses, excluding the one-time transactions, amounted to THB14,348 million, which was THB2,967 million higher than in Q1 2021, mainly due to variable operating expenses and the rise in fuel price.
Assets
