THAI is the nation's valuable asset: Piyasvasti
Former Energy Minister Piyasvasti Amranand said he decided to apply to be president of Thai Airways International as he regarded managing the airlineas as a major challenge and considered it to be a valuable national asset.
Piyasvasti, now chairman of advisors to CEO of Kasikornbank, is among 11 candidates applying to the positon.
Piyasvasti said, "The company now has big financial problems and we cannot allow it to collapse. We have seen many examples of foreign airlines whose problems got worse after bringing in private companies to manage them," he told Bangkokbiznews online.
"At first, I think that I am fine with my present job. However I want to work at the THAI. I realise that the work there would be tough. I am the one who loves tough jobs," he said.
