After two years in the wilderness, Thai Airways International<\/a> is introducing a summer timetable more in line with its status as an intercontinental airline<\/strong>. This recovery follows theeasing of entry restrictions to Thailand<\/strong>. The UK is expected to continue to reduce its tax burden (see box).<\/p>\n

Nearly 70 destinations between Thai Airways International and Thai Smile<\/span><\/h3>\n

For summer 2022, Thai is offering flights to 34 destinations<\/strong>. Its subsidiary Thai Smile serves 16 destinations in Thailand and 19 regional destinations in addition to its parent company. Thai Smile operates services to six destinations in Indochina<\/strong> (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Luang Prabang, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Vientiane) as well as Mandalay and Yangon in Burma.<\/p>\n

The two carriers are offering 69 destinations this summer<\/strong>. This compares with 82 destinations in 31 countries before the pandemic. But this represents a qualitative leap compared with 2021. Last year, Thai Airways<\/a> served a dozen destinations<\/strong> with one or two weekly flights, while Thai Smile operated only domestic flights.<\/p>\n

Among the new features on the intercontinental network, Thai Airways International confirms daily flights on the Paris CDG-Bangkok route<\/strong> as well as an increase in Brussels-Bangkok<\/strong>. From 2 July, the company will be offering three weekly flights from the Belgian capital<\/strong> instead of two.<\/p>\n

In the rest of Europe, Thai increases frequencies to Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London Heathrow and Zurich<\/strong>. It also returns to Munich with a daily frequency. The airline also offers a number of direct flights from Phuket to Frankfurt and London throughout the summer season.<\/p>\n

The return of the Bangkok hub<\/span><\/h3>\n

On the intercontinental and regional fronts, the company retains a leading position. very light network in Australia<\/strong> with only four weekly flights to Sydney<\/a> as well as to Melbourne. According to the airline's schedule, Thai does not intend to resume services to Brisbane, Perth or Auckland in New Zealand for the time being.<\/p>\n

In Asia, China is still missing, apart from one flight a week to Chongqing with Thai Smile. However, the airline does operate flights to Hong Kong and Macao. In Japan, Thai is once again landing at Tokyo-Narita, Nagoya and Osaka. It will resume daily flights to Tokyo Haneda from 1 July. Seoul<\/a> and Taipei are once again served daily (Taipei from 1 July).<\/p>\n

The carrier is also returning to daily frequencies to several South-East Asian cities.<\/strong>. This is the case for Manila, Singapore (one daily flight, then 11 flights\/week from July 1), Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta (daily frequency again from July 1). Thai Smile also serves Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bali and Penang in parallel.<\/p>\n

Finally, to the Indian subcontinent, Thai Airways already flies to 4 Indian cities<\/strong> (Thai Smile to 6 cities). The two carriers also serve Colombo, Dhaka, Kathmandu and Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi in Pakistan<\/strong>. Here too, the company is planning to increase frequencies between May and July.<\/p>\n

Compared to summer 2019, are still missing<\/strong> on the Bangkok connections network all routes to mainland China, Busan in Korea, Fukuoka and Sendai in Japan, as well as a large number of flights to Australia<\/strong>. In Europe, Italy, Vienna and Oslo are no longer served.<\/p>\n

However, the accelerated reopening of countries around the world should enable Thai Airways to resume all its routes by winter. In a scenario where the pandemic is fully under control and oil prices have stabilised...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Thailand moves to lift all restrictions<\/span><\/h3>\n

The resumption of Thai Airways flights is based on opening up the kingdom's borders<\/strong>. These measures continue to be relaxed. From On 1st April, travellers to Thailand will no longer have to undergo a PCR test 72 hours before departure<\/strong>. However, a PCR test must be carried out on arrival and the patient must be quarantined for 24 hours in a hotel while awaiting the result. On the 5th day, an antigen self-test will be required, as well as the obligation to register on the covid tracking application.<\/p>\n

However, there is increasing talk of all rules lifted on 1 June<\/strong>. This time, under pressure from Thailand's neighbours<\/strong> which are making faster progress towards normalising their borders. Cambodia, the Philippines and Vietnam<\/a> have already reopened unconditionally. Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore will follow on 1 April. Singapore is abolishing its VTLs - travel corridors for vaccinated persons.<\/p>\n

Thailand<\/strong>taken by surprise by its neighbours, will probably have to align itself with the other<\/strong> to preserve its tourism business, which accounted for 3T of its GDP before the 2010 crisis...<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
