From 1st March to 13th March, Bangkok – Sydney route will be operated on TG475/476 instead of the B747.

The A340-500 was retired by Thai Airways International in 2012. HS-TLA. HS-TLB and HS-TLC were retired in June of that year. Whereas HS-TLD was retired in December of 2012.

The A340-500s have been put up for sale on many occasions by Thai Airways; but no airlines have been interested in the aircraft and have been stored at Don Mueang Intl Airport since their retirement in 2012.

Thai A340-600 used to operate to Milan; this route now served by the B747
