BANGKOK, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- Thai Airways International (THAI) will put forward an investment plan for building an aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul center in eastern Thailand, said an official of the Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO) on Monday.

The national flag carrier has planned to co-invest in an aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul center to be built near the U-Tapao international airport in the Rayong province and to conclude related talks with potential partner the Airbus company by the end of this year or early next year, said EECO official Chokchai Panyayong.

The planned joint venture between THAI and Airbus is expected to see a maintenance, repair and overhaul center for passenger and cargo aircraft open in 2024 in the neighborhood of the U-Tapao airport, about 45 kilometers south of beach resort Pattaya, according to the official.

THAI has suffered huge financial losses due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic, said Panyayong. Enditem
