KhunG Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 4 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Is it realistic to assume they can find 30,998,000 domestic passengers ? Half of that if you assume round trips within the country. When I lived upcountry I'd fly BFV-DMK and back three times a year so that would be six trips. The flights were always full pre-Covid.

Timwin Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Totally not realistic. If Thailand opened today completely, maybe five million tourists this year and most of them in Q4. Thailand holidays are usually booked many months in advance, not some weekend trip on short notice. Also not so many visitors during the summer months.

Are they sure about these numbers? My calculations indicate they missed two or three flights. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand why they persist in coming up with such ridiculous announcements, which are very clearly a pipe dream and nothing more. Money and budgets!

KannikaP Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 22 hours ago, webfact said: Yet the figure still suggests that more than 31 million passengers will fly on well over 330,000 flights. That's only about 95 on each flight. Come on, fill them up! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoT forecasts 330,000 flights and 31 million passengers this year Very unrealistic. The full economic fallout is not even in effect yet. Many knock on effects will hit this year, particularly after they realize nearly no tourists are coming this year, and very few next year again. Property market will tank, many jobs will not return, there will likely be conflict in the region with China. They better start getting real and stop playing childish games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiekerjozef Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 AOT and TAT, at least they see the world in a positive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 If at the passing of one year, and their forecast is totally off, will AOT and TAT people still have their jobs? Will they come up with new and desperate slogans to plead for some return of any tourists, from anywhere? I thank a poster who told of how even Bangkok has many closed businesses and boarded up areas, as that is what my Thai relatives have said to me already. They are surviving okay as none of them work in the tourist business. The locals still have to eat, and the computers still have to be maintained, lots of businesses are still working okay. They are like us in Canada, still waiting for their first vaccine jab, and hopeful to get it before next year. Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
law ling Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 There must be something in the Thai psyche that craves, or sees a use for, these predictions. As some have said: maybe it's just government departments justifying their budget allocations. I suspect it's governments giving hope, to prevent a total and immediate collapse of large sections of the economy - worse than has occured thus far. The virus, with vaxing or the passage of time, may soon die off, like short-lived SARS and MERS. OR it might hang around, and seriously impact all areas of life, for years (or decades) to come - just no way of telling, as I see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
