BANGKOK, 10 March 2023:Thai Airways International released details of its summer flight schedule effective from 26 March to 28 October on Thursday.
The good news is more flights are scheduled to five cities in China which should boost leisure travel arrivals out of Kunming, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shanghai and Beijing.
Mekong region tourism operators will be disappointed with THAI’s decision to hand over all its flights to four neighbouring countries to its loss-ridden subsidiary airline Thai Smile. It provides flights to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar. Last month the national airline’s board said it would merge Thai Smile into the parent company to stem heavy losses.
The airline will operate flights to 39 destinations worldwide with increased frequencies on selected routes.
