Thai Airways to resume Abu Dhabi flights
Thai Airways will restart flights to UAE capital after a six-year halt with flights between Bangkok and Abu Dhabi International Airport starting on October 26, reported The National.
The “smooth as silk” airline follows other Asian carriers launching services into Abu Dhabi to capture growing demand and news that Etihad Airways carried a record number of passengers last month.
Thai Airways will fly four times a week between the two capitals using Airbus A330-300 with 41 business and 239 economy seats. It also plans to fly the larger Airbus A340-600 on the route, said Bashar al Kour, the Abu Dhabi and Al Ain sales manager for Thai Airways. The airline has appointed Salem Travel as the general sales agent.

Thai Airways also flies to Dubai, but suspended flights to the capital in 2003 because of profitability concerns. Al Kour said the company decided to return after seeing encouraging statistics provided by Abu Dhabi airport, the civil aviation authority and other airlines. “All the statistics show that the route now has growing potential,” he said.
