Information of  TTFly: Thai Airways International (THAI) said the delivery of its first Airbus A350 airliner will be delayed.

The Thai airline will receive it in August instead of July due to all pipeline impacted by delay on Zodiac seats.

"We expect to get it in July, but we got a note from Airbus saying it is probably August, because they have problem with a seat manufacturer. It's not our seat manufacturer, but as a result the pipeline moved, everyone's order moved," THAI President Charamporn Jotikasthira said in an interview for Australian media.

Meanwhile, Charamporn announced Thai Airways plans to upgrade both of its daily Melboure-Bangkok flights TG465/466 and TG461/462, using its new Airbus A350 aircraft by September.

THAI will acquire a total of 12 A350 XWB aircraft, with four on direct order and eight on lease. The airline will be able to operate these aircraft on long-haul services to Europe and in Asia.
