Phetchabun Flights Are Resumed

[Monkeypants]

According to

http://www.solarair.co.th/

They fly to Phetchabun (PHY) from (DMK)

It is a daily flight departing DMK AT 4 PM arriving 5pm one way ticket 2500 baht.

From PHY they fly to Loei also 850 baht.

Good news for me as I live about 25 kilo from the airport, It's about time this route was reopened, been closed for quite a few years now

Interesting to note that this new airline only operates during daylight hours, except for early evening arrivals into DMK. I assume most of these small airports are VFR or perhaps have CAT 1 ILS, in the best of cases? You might not want to fly during the rainy season?

CAT 1 ILS at Petchabun, very funny! LOL.

I notice on their website that they are recruiting student pilots.

Perhaps they havn't got round to doing their night rating yet!
