Thai Airways International (THAI) unveiled an ambitious plan to increase its worldwide flight choices in the forthcoming excessive season. The airline’s primary focus is to attract in a higher variety of vacationers.
A notable characteristic of this growth is the airline’s determination to recommence flights to Istanbul, Turkey, which is a significant aviation hub for Asia, Europe, and Africa. This service was previously suspended in 1994.
Save , the CEO of THAI, revealed that this decision was taken following the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Turkish Airlines in August.
From December, THAI will operate a daily flight to Istanbul. Chai revealed the Airbus A350-900 will serve Flight TG900, departing from Suvarnabhumi Airport at eleven.45pm and touching down in Istanbul at 6.05am local time.
“Next, THAI will launch new flights to Oslo in Norway, Milan in Italy, and Sydney and Perth in Australia.”
Chai also shared optimistic projections for the airline’s cabin load issue on flights from China, anticipating a 75% surge in the fourth quarter. This is attributed to the visa-exemption scheme for Chinese citizens, which is projected to generate 240 million baht in monthly revenues in the course of the visa-free interval.
The visa exemption scheme, effective until February 29 next 12 months, has resulted in an inflow of reservations on Chinese journey booking platforms, including Ctrip and Tuniu. To meet this demand, THAI intends to function day by day flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, and Chengdu, as per Chai.
Additionally, THAI plans to extend its providers to Japan, working day by day flights to Sapporo and Fukuoka, escalating Tokyo services from 21 to 28 per week, and initiating charter flights to Sendai. Starting December 1, Taipei will also profit from twice-daily flights, reported Bangkok Post.
