Mr. Cherdphan Chotikhun, Chief Technical Officer of Thai Airways International Public Company Limited, revealed that the company and PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate and exchange essential information on gas turbine maintenance.

This collaboration aims to enhance the maintenance capabilities of both organizations through the exchange of knowledge, technology, and technical support across multiple dimensions. They will jointly explore approaches and feasibility of gas turbine maintenance business models to raise maintenance standards to international standards.

"There is also a plan to jointly develop training courses for gas turbines and turbofans, which have similar operating characteristics." "This agreement aims to strengthen the maintenance workforce," said Mr. Cherdphan.

Furthermore, both parties will establish a joint working group to explore approaches and design a business plan for cooperation between Thai Airways International, PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP), and aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) companies. This will also include the exchange of technical and operational information to support efficient joint operations.

This signing marks another important step for Thai Airways International and PTTEP in enhancing their gas turbine maintenance capabilities and expanding joint business opportunities. This will also drive the economy and enhance the country's gas turbine maintenance industry.
