webfact Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has announced a breath of fresh air for travellers— airfares are set to drop next year. With an influx of licenced airlines and a squadron of new aircraft on the horizon, the skies are about to become a lot more affordable. According to the latest revelation from the CAAT today, December 27, a stellar eight airlines have clinched air operator licences from none other than Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit. A total of 60 airplanes are set to fly in 2024. Among the chosen aviators, five hail from domestic turf, including the intriguingly rebranded Ezy Airlines (formerly Landarch Airlines), Pattaya Airways, the ultra-chic P80 Air, the trendsetting Really Cool Airlines, and the aquatic aficionados at Siam Seaplane. With a colossal investment tallying 3.85 billion baht, these airborne entrepreneurs are eagerly awaiting their air operator certificates to kick off their flight fiestas. by Mitch Connor Photo courtesy of KhaoSod English Full story: The Thaiger 2023-12-28 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

newnative Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 What a useless article. These tiny 'airlines', if they even get off the ground, will likely have virtually no impact on airfares. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
