BANGKOK -- Thai Airways International on Friday announced that it expects to complete its capital restructuring in 2024 through a debt-for-equity swap, as easing travel restrictions from COVID-19 lift its performance.

The embattled flag carrier has submitted an updated turnaround plan to the authorities, and will seek approval from creditors in a meeting around August or September, pending a green light from the court.
