THAI hopes to resume flights to US

THAI aims to resume flights to the US, though they would be routed through either Seattle or San Francisco instead of Los Angeles, which was the previous destination. THAI president Charamporn Jotikasthira said the timing of the move to resume flights to the US depends on the ICAO withdrawing its "red flag", and the US FAA upgrading the country's aviation status. THAI suspended its flights from Bangkok to Los Angeles in October last year in line with its rehabilitation plan following years of losses. With increasing demand, the carrier is now considering flights to either Seattle or San Francisco because passengers could transfer to other destinations, Charamporn said, adding the flights are expected to be launched next year. Thailand was downgraded by the FAA Dec 1 last year to Category II. <br/>
