Suvarnabhumi » One-Two-Go Airlines shifting flights from Don Muang to Suvarnabhumi Airport
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007The budget carrier One-Two-Go Airlines is shifting some of its operations back to Suvarnabhumi Airport from the old Don Muang airport where it had concentrated its flights since last September.
The airline quietly launched its first scheduled daily flight from the new Bangkok airport to Phuket on Aug 17 and will gradually increase flight frequency on the route to four per day.
The goal is to help passengers connecting with international flights and to meet demand from local travellers who find it more convenient to board flights at Suvarnabhumi, said the airline’s chief executive, Udom Tantiprasongchai.
By offering its services to a popular southern holiday destination, One-Two-Go aims to tap demand from budget-minded connecting passengers, especially foreigners, who now mostly rely on Thai AirAsia.
Thai AirAsia was the only Bangkok-based budget carrier that operated all services through Suvarnabhumi.
Aside from One-Two-Go and Nok Air, Thai Airways International has been operating non-connecting domestic flights out of Don Muang as part of the government’s effort to ease crowding at Suvarnabhumi.
With a claimed load factor of more than 80% on the Bangkok - Phuket route, One-Two-Go recently added an additional daily flight out of Don Muang, giving it six flights a day.
At the same time, it has stepped up its Don Muang - Chiang Rai flights to three a day from twice a day.
The increased frequency was made possible as the airline has become more comfortable with flight capacity, available on eight McDonnell Douglas MD-80 jets, and improvement in the punctuality record that has hit more than 92%, Mr Udom said. (Boonsong/Bkk Post)
