Maybe they are finally listening!
THAI Smile Airways has ditched the planned shift to Don Mueang airport later this month as serious doubts emerged regarding justifying such a move.
Flag carrier Thai Airways International (THAI) is caught in a dilemma about whether to operate its budget airline entirely from Don Mueang or in conjunction with Suvarnabhumi, the capital's main international...
The earlier plan called for THAI Smile to complete the relocation to Don Mueang, at which it has partially operated since Aug 8 this year, by Oct 26.

Being a bit of a corporate strategy dinosaur I am stuck in the past with an old fashioned view about the hub and spoke business model used by many airlines – they tend to work rather better when the spokes are actually attached to the hub (like a bicycle wheel)
It’s probably an age thing, but sadly I’ve been having a real struggle trying to grasp what the economic benefits to Thai Airways of having the spokes detached from the hub might be and also what the benefits would be for Thai Airways to exclude Thai Smile flights from its loyal customers in the ROP and Star Alliance programs
Then again, I was never able to grasp how Dotcom companies (with no sales history) could be valued so highly in the market without investors losing their shirts or how Reaganomics could work without exploding US debt

Disgusted that the UK is “governed” by a squalid bunch of economically illiterate, self-serving, sleazy and corrupt neo-fascists.

Well, I'm even more confused now. I'm flying BKK to Udon on 30 December with Thai Air. Got a call last week to say that flight will now go from DM AND I've been sent a new e-ticket confirming that.

Just checked my 2 planned trips to Bangers,one end October and one in December,there are some flight time changes for both outbound and inbound but both specify through Swampy and not Don Muang.
So best check your preplanned trips on their website,booking ref and last name.Will have to amend a couple of the times so will get that done at Udon airport

Just wish they would make a decision and announce it formally instead of all the smoke and mirrors attitude.
I travel Thai... UD / BKK either way each month on a normal work roster but cant get a online booking November one way in either direction. The website is clear to book up until 25 26 oct then it has nothing showing error.
Just say yes or no and we can all choose accordingly on how we connect to international flights or book accommodation or in my case both.
Surely they know where they will be as you just should not be able to get slots immediately into a new location. Flight plans are not done daily and preplanned.

Same as me Barney Im off to Honduras end of Oct, probably book BKK Airways so I don't need the hassles of taxis and tollways.
Then check into Thai for BKK LAX at Swampy.
Remember this is now being run by the Junta , so all new initiatives are from an Air Force General, whose back ground is NOT commercial airline activity / operations.
Reducing all the free Business Flights for the Thai Board members good idea !
Switching airports for budget operations, Bad idea
Im thinking that the backdown, has come from pressure within TOT also, as tourist numbers are well down.

In July I was considering booking a flight from Udon to Suvarnaphumi on Thai Smile, but decided to go with Bangkok Air rather than take a chance and end up in Don Muang. Now....several months later......I'm preparing to book a return flight from Suvarnaphumi to Udon..........and I don't want to end up needing to go to DM to make the connection.......so I'll take another pass on Thai Smile.
Sometimes you have to wonder what sort of banter goes on behind Thai Air business doors.

Well, I'm going to try Bangkok Air, I think. I can't trust Thai Air any more, who's to say they won't change their minds again next week? We can now go back full circle to the OP and ask, 'where is the business plan?' I've a feeling there isn't one or at least it's heavily red-penned.

I sent an email to Thai's office in Stockholm, Sweden asking for a reason why it was not possable to book flights from Swampy to Udon in January 2015. Got an answer yesterday that said: "Please wait, Thai is currently re-directing the Udon flights back to Suvarnabhumi" =D>
We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now
Thai Airways new business plan
There was only one lady at the Thai office and the 3 customers before me did not look happy with all that has been going on,bit of a mess up
Did read that they will review Don Muang after the winter period so end of March
