THAI targets Cebu as a new market

THAI is looking at Cebu City as another potential destination in the Philippines in addition to the capital Manila. THAI president Charumporn Jotikasthira said Thursday the carrier has added Cebu City in the central Philippines to its new destination list and the route will be launched when the airline is ready. Manila is the only stop for the airline in the Philippines. The planned Cebu route is part of the carrier's plan to expand its wings to more cities or revive scrapped routes which now have the potential to make a profit. That includes flights to Moscow, which will relaunch in October, he added. THAI also plans to relaunch services to the US. However, Charumporn said Thursday that Los Angeles had been ruled out after learning from mistakes from past marketing plans. <br/>
