Swiss uses bigger jets for Bangkok
Swiss International Air Lines has embarked on a major product upgrade on its Bangkok-Zurich route in a bid to appeal to passengers. The airline tarted to deploy the larger and more modern Boeing 777-300ER to replace the ageing Airbus 340-300 on the long-haul route since July 16. Bangkok is one of three Asia-Pacific cities that Swiss International has chosen to serve with its brand new wide-body long-range twin-engine jets to link with its Zurich hub. The deployment of B777-300ERs responds to stronger travel demand between the Thai and Swiss cities and to compete better with other airlines especially the Middle Eastern carriers, Peter Pullem, head of international sales and marketing, said yesterday in Bangkok. The airline's B777-300ER boasts 50% more seating capacity than the A340-300 it has replaced.<br/>
