October 28, 201312 yr The carrier’s first route will be from Bangkok to Jakarta, twice daily, and it plans to launch a daily service from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur and a thrice-daily service from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. By launching services to Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, it will be able to connect to Lion Group's affiliate in Malaysia, Malindo Air, and to subsidiaries Lion Air and Wings Air, which together serve 76 destinations in Indonesia. The carrier to be based at Bangkok's Don Muang International Airport currently has more than 100 employees and will have 200 when it starts flying. It hopes to start operations before year-end, subject to regulatory approval, with two brand new Boeing 737-900ERs.
October 28, 201312 yr I wouldn't touch them with a rather long barge pole.....http://aviation-safety.net/database/operator/airline.php?var=5758
October 28, 201312 yr They were actually Boeing's launch customer for the 737-900. It's a huge airline in Indonesia and not really that bad. No comparison to Orient Thai, that would be rather unfair
October 28, 201312 yr I wouldn't touch them with a rather long barge pole.....http://aviation-safety.net/database/operator/airline.php?var=5758 I am hearing you there. Nice link. That is a nasty track record they have got. Indonesian air safety is notoriously below par. Garuda is another one I wouldn't sit in without a parachute.
October 28, 201312 yr I've been 'off' with Garuda ever since they poisoned a passenger who was getting up the Govt's nose. The autopsy in Holland showed what he'd been poisoned with and eventually a few heads rolled, but the company were carrying out the regime's demands. It's all well-documented. http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-272066.html Not a nice way to treat passengers.

October 29, 201312 yr Are you saying Orient Thai is unsafe? As far as in cabin service is concerned it is my favourite internal airline. Without doubt one of the finest airlines on this side of the disk called earth

October 29, 201312 yr Whatever airline ,sure it will be safer than traveling around Thailand by Bus or Train ,they seem to be death traps at moment,anyway if your numbers called, thats it. regards Worgeordie
October 29, 201312 yr I would not use this airline. New plane March 2013 still crashed. Previous plane crashed into the water before landing in Bali Airport. My life is worth more than a cheap airfare.

June 9, 201411 yr Interestingly Thai Lion are already up to seven flights daily, between DMK & CNX, and seem to be busy at their B1,820-return cheap-price ! Note also that they're currently advertising for staff at Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Rai, Ubon & Udon, which may well be a clue about what new-routes they plan to add next ? !
