Singapore Airlines to resume Bangkok flights
4/12/2008 16:26
Singapore Airlines (SIA) will resume flights to Bangkok from tomorrow
following Thai anti- government demonstrators ended their eight-day siege of two
airports in Bangkok a day early.
The first flight from the Thai capital's
Suvarnabhumi Airport will depart for Singapore at 1.05 p.m. local time (0605
GMT), SIA said in a statement.
Additional relief flights from U-Tapao airport
in Pattaya will cease from tonight. The carrier said it is contacting customers
who are booked to travel from U-Tapao today to inform them of the
change.
SIA's regional wing Silk air is also reducing its additional flights
between Phuket and Singapore to one per day - on top of the daily schedule of at
least four flights - as capacity increases from Bangkok and demand for its
relief flights tapers off. These additional flights will continue until
Sunday.
Tomorrow, SIA will operate three return flights between Singapore and
Bangkok, plus one flight from Singapore to Bangkok then onto Tokyo
Narita.
From Saturday onwards, a three-times-daily return flight will
operate, in addition to a flight in each direction between Bangkok and Tokyo
Narita.
SIA said it will monitor demand in coming days to determine whether
the capacity is in line with demand, and may make further schedule
adjustments.
