In 1951, the Thai Government purchased the shares of three private airways, merged them into one, and renamed it Thai Airways Company (abbreviated as TAC), which is the predecessor of Thai Airways International. Later, in 1960, allied with Scandinavian Airlines System, the government started business in the international market with the name Thai Airways International, allowing TAC to operate domestic routes as an independent company.
