Thai Airways International will begin operating daily flights on the Bangkok to Haneda route with Airbus A340-500s from the end of October.
Teerapol Chotichanapibal, Thai’s acting executive vice president for commercial department, says: “Thai will commence daily flight to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on 31 October 2010, while maintaining current service to Narita International Airport. By serving Haneda, passengers flying Thai to Tokyo will experience more convenience with flight departures and arrivals that are closer in proximity to Tokyo’s city center.”
Thai’s Bangkok to Haneda route will use A340-500s with a total seat capacity of 215: 60 seats in Royal Silk (business class) and 155 seats in economy class. Thai will operate a total of four flights per day to Tokyo: three flights per day on the route Bangkok-Narita and one flight per day on the route Bangkok-Haneda.
