JAL to add flight after Suvarnabhumi Airport opens
September 15th, 2006Japan Airlines (JAL) will add one more daily flight between Bangkok and Tokyo after Suvarnabhumi Airport opens on September 28.
“Many people want to use Thailand as a transit point to a third country, but Bangkok International Airport [Don Muang] is too crowded and the number of flights to Bangkok is limited,” said Seigi Iwasaki, JAL regional manager.
“The new airport will encourage more people to stop over at Bangkok.”
He also voiced confidence in the airport’s security system, but is slightly concerned about the first-class passenger lounge with decorating yet to be complete.
