Nok Air återupptar flighter Bangkok-Phuket
Då flygbolaget One-Two-Go groundades 22 juli finns i dag inte tillräckligt många flighter mellan Bangkok och Phuket. Nok Air har då beslutat att tillfälligt återuppta trafiken från 9 augusti, men endast på lördagar och söndagar. Det blir den gamla flygplatsen i Bangkok, Don Mueang, som kommer att användas.
Phuket Gazette, Wednesday August 6 2009
PHUKET CITY: Nok Air is resuming twice-weekly flights to Phuket from Bangkok following media reports of Phuket-bound tourists stranded in Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.
The Phuket Gazette's report as well as other media reports were used by the board in their decision making, Nok Air media and public relations representative Dechavut Vuttisilp told the Gazette.
The limited service, which resumes on August 9, is scheduled to operate on Saturdays and Sundays only. Flights depart from Don Muang airport in Bangkok to Phuket International Airport (PIA) at 9.15 am, with the return leg taking off from PIA at 11.05 am.
However, the Sunday flight for this week will be moved to Tuesday, August 12 to accommodate those wishing to enjoy Mother's Day in Phuket. For the rest of August the flights will be on Saturdays and Sundays.
Many Phuket-bound tourists who already faced limited flight options following the suspension of One-Two-Go's services on July 22 were stranded in Bangkok when Nok Air suspended its Bangkok-Phuket service on August 1. The move followed Nok Air's halt of its Krabi-Bangkok service on July 1.
