BANGKOK, 23 April 2021: Bangkok Airways has delayed the launch of a new route, Bangkok – Mae Sot until 17 October 2021, due to a surge in Covid-19 infections across all 77 provinces in Thailand.
With new cases of more than a thousand per day since early April, health officials warn it could take between one to two months to stabilize the third wave of infections. Under the circumstances, airline bookings are declining as people avoid all but essential travel.
