THAI to cancel 6 routes to 4 Asean countries
Sumeth Damrongchaitham, president of THAI, has said that THAI is looking into the shutting down of 6 flight routes to 4 Indochinese countries, namely Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar. These routes, which all emanate from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, are to Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Yangon. “These routes are all covered by a small number of flights and have low customer capacity,” he said. “Once the cancellation plan is finalised, THAI will assign Thai Smile Airways to cover these routes instead.” Sumeth further explained that competition had become fiercer, with every airline dropping prices to stay ahead of its rivals. “THAI needs to adjust our strategies too to preserve our reservation rate. We will focus on rolling out promotional campaigns until year end.” <br/>
