Ha, ha! No thanks, Khun Zinedine! I'd rather take my chances road running Highway 2 to Nong Khai.Zidane wrote:I dont think the pilots are Indonesian.....a mixture of Thai and farang from the captains messages en route,I would say ?
So,I wouldnt worry too much,Earnest......a chap like yourself who has seen service in Iraq,Syria and Liverpool should have no problems.
You missed out Afghanistan, by the way.
I will also miss BKK Air - a great airline. I'm also disappointed that just one outfit now flies out of Swampy to Udon.

Bangkok Airways generally has enough high yielding connecting passengers from its partners to serve these markets without having to compete directly with LCCs. Domestic trunk routes that have mainly only local demand have traditionally not worked for Bangkok Airways. For example Bangkok Airways suspended services to Udon Thani in Oct-2015.
Udon Thani had been served from Bangkok for two years but was a challenge from the beginning as it is not a popular destination for foreigners. As LCCs rapidly expanded in the Udon Thani market Bangkok Airways simply could not compete and wisely withdrew, opting to redeploy capacity to market where it can generate sufficient yields to cover the higher cost structure which comes with its full service product.
As CAPA highlighted in the first report in this series, about 70% to 80% Bangkok Airways passengers originate from regions outside its own area of operations, which includes Thailand and nine countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Laos, Malaysia, the Maldives, Myanmar and Singapore). Udon Thani was an exception as it relied almost entirely on price sensitive local passengers.
