Reporting live from ITB Berlin Bangkok Airways reinstate capacity
HAVING survived a tough 2009 which forced it to cut staff and axe non-performing regional routes, Bangkok Airways is on a strong footing again to increase frequencies to some of its Thai destinations and reinstate one or two regional routes.
New president Puttipong Prasarttong, attending his first ITB, said he had to take tough measures to cut costs and restructure. The past two months showed some positive figures, enabling him to put flights back on selectively, he said.
Bangkok-Chiang Mai will be increased to 28 flights per week from 21 in the coming summer. And on February 1, Bangkok-Lampang via Sukhothai was added to its domestic routes.
