Debt-ridden Thai Airways has opened a restaurant made from spare plane parts to try and balance the books. The ailing flag carrier - which lost 383 million dollars in 2019 - hopes selling in-flight meals and coffee will bring in a cash boost.

Its new aviation themed cafe at its headquarters in Bangkok has its air hostess working as waitresses, seats and tables made from airplane spare parts and chefs serve the airline's food.Even the grounded pilots have been set to work welcoming customers.

Thai Airways Catering Managing Director Varangkana Luerojvong said that spare parts from engines, windows and fan blades were used as furniture. One feature is a painted rubber wheel surrounded by bean bags. Varangkana said the cafe serves around 2,000 meals per day and would ''recoup some lost revenue during the coronavirus pandemic''.
