BANGKOK, Feb 14 – Thai Airways International (THAI), Thailand’s national flag carrier, will launch more routes to attract 25 million more travellers as part of its collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
THAI President Sorajak Kasemsuvan said the airline had discussed with TAT, and this year’s target is to attract 25 million travellers to the country.
More flights to such destinations as Japan’s Sapporo will be added, from five to seven flights/week during Thailand’s cool season.
More routes from and to India and Russia will also be operated, for a high percentage of tourists from both countries visit Thailand, as well as routes from and to China and Myanmar.
THAI will soon open Bangkok-Mandalay-Bangkok flights, believing such a route will attract about an 80 per cent of passenger load per flight on average. (MCOT online news)
