BANGKOK -- Thailand's ailing flag carrier Thai Airways International has finally appointed a new president after a near two-year search to fill the position and more than a year since the departure of the previous leader.
The board approved on Friday the appointment of Sumeth Damrongchaitham, managing director of state-owned asset management firm Dhanarak Asset Development and former chief operating officer of Thailand's largest entertainment company GMM Grammy, according to a stock exchange filing on Monday.
