THAI uses new jets for Italy
THAI has opted to use its latest Airbus 350 XWB jets for its Italian services, starting from the middle of this month. The flag carrier made the decision after it became apparent that approval from Australia for it to deploy the technologically advanced aircraft on its Bangkok-Melbourne route would not be forthcoming. THAI will use its first two A350 XWBs for its Bangkok-Rome and Bangkok-Milan routes to replace old Boeing 777-200ERs. THAI operates four non-stop flights a week to each of the two Italian routes. "Europe has no issues about us operating A350 XWBs to their airports," an airline insider said. Furthermore, European civil aviation authorities do not object to THAI switching to A350 XWBs, which are made by Airbus, he said. <br/>
