Thai Lion gains access to IATA
No-frills Thai Lion Air (TLA) has joined the global airline industry club whose members are largely full-service carriers in a move to support its growth plans. TLA has joined a handful of low-cost carriers to become a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The membership, which was officiated last Friday, allows TLA, part of Indonesia's gigantic Lion Air Group, to leverage extensive support and benefits rendered by IATA mechanisms. TLA managing director Darsito Hendro told the Bangkok Post that the membership, the first for a Thai-registered LCC, will be instrumental to the airline's international expansion. "Thai Lion is expanding internationally, already covering Singapore, Indonesia and Myanmar, with Vietnam next and India and Australia on our radar screen," he said. <br/>
