Hong Kong Airlines to Upgrade Thai Links

Hong Kong Airlines is to almost treble its capacity on the Hong Kong – Bangkok route this summer and will also inaugurate flights to Phuket, as it expands its presence in the Thai market. The carrier is to boost frequencies to Bangkok from four to eleven per week from March 27, using Airbus A330-200 widebodies on all the flights. The new flight to Phuket will begin on May 1 and will be operated twice weekly by Boeing 737-800. Elsewhere, however, a planned four times weekly link to Moscow Sheremetyevo has been cancelled, while its ten times weekly service to Taipei Taoyuan will now begin on June 28, rather than 28 April as originally planned. This revised start date is still subject to change depending upon the outcome of bilateral talk between Taiwan and Hong Kong.
