[edit] History

Orient Thai Airlines was Asia’s only international charter operator. Along with its subsidiary Kampuchea Airlines it provided services to other airlines including Finnair, Lufthansa, LTU and Merpati.

It transported refugees around the world for the UN’s International Office of Migration (IOM), including returning people to Kosovo from Australia and helping Timorese return to East Timor in 1999 after it won its independence from Indonesia. Orient Thai Airlines also became a designated UN carrier, transporting troops for peacekeeping operations worldwide. Its aircraft were also busy flying Muslim Hajj pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for various clients including Air India and the Saudi royal family. At the peak of its charter work Orient Thai Airlines’ subsidiary operated eight Boeing B747's aircrafts.
