Thai Airways A380 - Frankfurt First

[WilliaminBKK]

Interesting article on where TG will deploy their A380 due for delivery late 2012. Frankfurt first, then LHR and Australia.

I hope with the added capacity they are able to maintain double daily flights, the option is quite nice.

Perhaps use a smaller aircraft for a while, like the A340s, for the 2nd daily-flight to LHR, rather than risk losing their valuable slots at Heathrow ?

In an ideal world cut prices for BKK-LHR-BKK passengers, to the levels enjoyed by people starting their journeys in the UK, now that could win back some of the long-term-lost traffic !

TG are losing a lot of business due to Emirates operating A380 (up to Dubai) on the European route. Logical that they want to serve the continent first. Need to check the pricing though.

Could be that by end of 2012 Germany is the only European nation where people can still afford to fly anyplace.

You might not be that wrong, a lot of budgets being squeezed, much job uncertainty
