New Air Routes To China & Indochina By Thai Airways International

Thai and its subsidiary Thai Smile will open four new routes this winter to China, Japan and Laos, competing head to head with low cost carriers.

The last Thai Airways International Board of Directors meeting is giving a boost to Thai Smile with more international destinations being served by Thai Airways subsidiary. Thai Smile’s expanding network confirms the repositioning of the carrier into a complementary airline to Thai Airways with lower costs and simplified services.

The Board of Directors approved of the opening of the following four new routes for the winter season starting October 27, in order to increase revenue as targeted and meet market demands.

The first Thai Smile route will link Bangkok to Chongqing in the People’s Republic of China. Flights will be operated with an Airbus A320-200 aircraft with three frequencies per week, At the same date, Thai Smile will also launch three weekly frequencies from Bangkok to Changsha in the People’s Republic of China with an Airbus A320-200 aircraft. The frequency will be increased to five flights per week from January 16, 2014.

The most surprising will be the arrival of Thai Smile on the Bangkok-Luang Prabang (Laos) route which will further dent into another lucrative route served by Bangkok Airways. Thai Smile will propose a daily flight from November 16 with an Airbus A320-200. The carrier will then be in competition with two other airlines, Bangkok Airways and Lao Airlines.

While Thai Smile will be positioned in these three routes, Thai Airways confirmed that it will launch a Bangkok-Sendai route in Japan. The new route which has been planned for at least five years will be operated with an Airbus A330-300 with three flights per week, effective 3 December 2013.

Meanwhile, the Board of Director acknowledged Thai Airways Group performance in August 2013. Available Seat-Kilometer (ASK) increased 10.8 percent due to new aircraft deliveries and route adjustments based on passenger demand. Revenue Passenger-Kilometer (RPK) increased 9.9 percent, resulting in an average Cabin Factor of 78.0 percent, which was lower than the same month last year which showed an average of 78.7 percent. The number of passengers carried increased 6.2 percent, compared to the same month last year.

For Thai Smile in August 2013, Cabin Factor averaged 77.0 percent; lower than the same month last year which averaged 82.5 percent. Thai Smile business unit serves 13 routes, compared to four routes last year.

Idea On Building Phuket, Vietnam, Burma Trail Link

Phuket - Thailand

From Threeland Travel's Blog - September 2012

Phuket could become the central link in a Burma-Phuket-Vietnam tourism alliance, Vietnamese Ambassador Ngo Duc Thang suggested on Phuket yesterday.

''It's certainly an idea for the very near future,'' the ambassador said when he met Phuket Vice Governor Dr Sommai Preechasin at provincial Hall in Phuket City yesterday.

Earlier in the day, Phuket's new Tourism Authority of Thailand Director Chanchai Doungjit coincidentally suggested the same need.

''For many people, a trip to Burma or Vietnam is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,'' he said. ''Phuket needs to join with its neighbors for a win-win-win.''

Air-Asia tried a Phuket-Vietnam link once but the time may be nearing when Thai Airways or another airline could resurrect the route.

Dr Sommai told the ambassador that Phuket had about 500 Vietnamese who were residents and that numbers were likely to increase with the arrival of the Asean Economic Community in 2015.

She noted that Phuket remained virtually 100 percent dependent on tourism and needed more diversity, something that perhaps could come with Vietnamese investment.

The ambassador mentioned Burma's Dawei deep sea port and the planned land bridge from the Andaman to the Gulf of Thailand.

''Phuket could certainly benefit from working with Burma and Vietnam and perhaps Cambodia to negotiate with larger tourist markets,'' he said.

The vice governor and the ambassador had previously met when Dr Somai was vice governor of an Isarn province.

The ambassador confessed this was his second visit to Phuket.

His first came as a golf tourist, playing at Phuket's Loch Palm and Red Mountain courses. He confessed to becoming a fan of the ''liveliness'' of Phuket by day and especially by night.
