Thai Airways is recruiting a new CEO to replace current leader Chai Ieamsiri, whose term ends in early 2027. Applications open September 7–27, 2026. Candidates must be Thai citizens under 65 with a master's degree and substantial leadership experience at large, complex organizations (N-1 or CEO level), preferably in aviation. This leadership transition signals the airline's strategic reset but is primarily relevant to executives in large-scale transportation/logistics sectors rather than typical SME operations.
