KittenKong Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Title says it all really. Announced yesterday (April 24), though it is strangely reminiscent of 10 years ago. https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2017/04/24/qatar-airways-launch-cardiff-flights/ Personally I've never really seen the point of Utapao as getting to/from BKK is very easy from Jomtien and Utapao has little or no public transport. Of interest to those who live further along the coast or who have someone who can drop them off and collect them, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Air Asia flights up to to Chiangmai, and for the Welsh, flights into Cardiff with Qatar. I might just be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 To be launched in 2018. Let's wait whether it materializes. http://www.qatarairways.com/fi/en/press-release.page?pr_id=pressrelease_atmday1 I bet that they would take care about transportation. Becoming the Mid-east / Pattaya shuttle Also you might have noticed that expansion of U-Tapao is going on. Where there is demand there will be service.

nisakiman Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Presumably U-Tapao will be in addition to, rather than instead of Suvarnabhumi? Because unless you either have a connection that runs out of U-Tapao or are going on to Pattaya, it's not exactly a convenient location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a mess if Qatar tried to substitute Suvarnabhumi. Growth/expansion is the motto of the Arab airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
