Bangkok, Thailand - Kingdom of
THAI AIRWAY JUMBO JET NEARLY EMPTY ON FLIGHT TO SINGAPORE.
A Thai Airways flight attendent offers meal service aboard an nearly
empty 744 jumbo jet on a morning flight from Bangkok to Singapore May
10, 2003. Both Thailand and Singapore's tourist arrivals have fallen
sharply due to the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS). Analysts have forecast a second-quarter profit decline for Thai
Airways in a range of 44 to 63 percent due to increased fuel prices and
falling passenger numbers. Picture taken May 10, 2003. REUTERS/Bob
