Thai launches direct flights from Haneda to Bangkok

Haneda, Japan – Thai Airways International Public Company Limited recently launched direct service from Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Mr. Nond said that with the launch of the double daily operation between the two cities, Thai aims to meet customer demands and satisfaction by increasing frequencies or capacities as the demand in air transportation is expected to rise when the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) takes effect in 2015.
