Thai Airways International has joined a growing number of airlines cutting back on flights in the wake of US leader Donald Trump's ongoing Middle East madness.
The Thai flag carrier has alerted ticket agents to a round of frequency cuts in May across domestic, Asian and European routes, news hub Travel Mole reports.
Thai Airways has blamed rising fuel costs and softer low-season demand for the cuts.
The carrier said it may adjust schedules throughout the month, trimming services on a wide range of routes.
Within Thailand, several key routes will see reduced frequencies from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
Across Asia, flights to Phnom Penh will be reduced from 14 weekly flights to 11 and Singapore trimmed from five daily flights to four.
Beijing flights will be cut from two daily to one and Hong Kong trimmed from four daily to three.
Long-haul services to Europe are also impacted, with multiple routes seeing temporary reductions.
Istanbul is reduced from daily to five weekly flights with similar cuts to Munich, Stockholm and Oslo.
Thai Airways International said it will continue monitoring conditions and may make further schedule changes as needed.
