Bangkok-Chiang Rai route eyed by TVJA

Thai VietJet Air (TVJA) is pressing ahead with its network expansion plans, although its licence to operate commercial air service is still pending renewal. The Thai offshoot of Vietnam's low-cost carrier group, VietJet Air, aims to launch its fourth domestic route -- Bangkok-Chiang Rai -- with a twice-daily flight starting on Oct 29. The launch of the Bangkok-Chiang Rai route heralds TVJA's move to grow its offerings in and out of Thailand in the forthcoming winter season that typically starts at the end of October. TVJA has made known its plan to serve Krabi and Hat Yai, as well international destinations in China, Taiwan and Vietnam. But the launch of its international services is subject to having its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) recertified by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand<br/>(CAAT).<br/>
