Shares of Thai Airways International, or THAI, are at risk of missing out on inclusion in the new MSCI index calculation, the results of which will be announced on the morning of 13 November 2026, after the share price fell below the minimum threshold of 6.50 baht. Previously there had been speculation that THAI shares had a chance of entering the index this round, since its free float already met the criteria and its market cap also reached the threshold. At the end of 2025 the price stood at 6.95 baht, with a market cap of 196.708 billion baht. THAI shares currently trade at just over 5 baht, down from a peak of 19.40 baht. The company has also faced a string of problems, from the drama at its annual general meeting of shareholders and the appointment of a new board that expanded the number of directors to 15 from 11, to concerns over creditors who converted debt into equity at a cost of 2.5452 baht and whether they will sell their shares, and to two days and two nights of heavy rain that battered Bangkok and its surrounding provinces, causing major flooding, flight delays and tens of thousands of bags left stranded at Suvarnabhumi Airport, and leading to an order suspending cargo services between 1 and 6 October 2026, an order that those involved have since cancelled. Meanwhile, the board has ordered the suspension of Chai Eamsiri, CEO of Thai Airways, over allegations that the flood situation damaged the company's reputation.
