PHUKET: Several airlines have reduced the number of flights to and from Phuket as a result to falling demand amid concerns over the current COVID-19 outbreak, Phuket International Airport General Manager Thanee Chuangchoo has confirmed.


However, Mr Thanee branded posts circulating online warning that all flights to and from Phuket had been cancelled as fake news.

 

“Several airlines cancelled regular flights throughout January, but many airlines are still operating regular flights to Phuket,” Mr Thanee confirmed to The Phuket News today (Jan 6).

The numbers quoted are a little strange.

 

But even 'if' the total flight numbers are accurate, and assuming the very worst they were operating a baby airbus 319 (which no Thai airline does), although I suspect an A320 or B73X, the load factor would be close to 50%

 

No airline on this planet makes money with load factors under 80%

 

If those are really the numbers, buckle up for a sh**it load of cancelled flights
