Bangkok Air to charge for 'no-show'
Bangkok Airways will start imposing fees for passengers who do not turn up without prior request for a change of flight. The airline is charging the penalty fee to curb growing passenger "no-shows", which cause wastage of flights and affect revenue-earning opportunity. The airline has seen such incidents spreading from its flights to Bangladesh and India to other routes, and saw the need to curtail that practice, an insider said. The fees will be imposed on both domestic and international flights at THB500 (US$150) per leg on domestic flights for an economy class ticket and THB1,000 for international services. Business class passengers will be subject to a THB1,000 per leg fee for domestic travel and THB2,000 for international flights. <br/>
