Orient Thai Airlines: Thai Hospitality And Rich Heritage
Orient Thai Airlines operates its airline business based on the philosophy of “Do it by heart,” offering affordable airfares, as well as friendly and flexible services to bring a smile to customers’ faces, a customer-oriented attitude, and fair business practices.
Orient Thai Airlines Co. Ltd. currently offers both domestic and international flights out of Suvarhabhumi International Airport. Formerly known as Orient Express Air, it was founded in Cambodia as Cambodia International Airlines (CIA) until its acquisition by Udom Tantiprasongchai and his wife Nina Tantiprasongchai in 1995, when it became Asia’s first international charter operator.
Orient Thai Airlines has always stressed its commitment to safety, and providing the most efficient service to its passengers. This includes the punctuality, courtesy, and comfort that it incorporates as the fundamental core of its business and employee practices.
The airline, together with its subsidiary, Kampuchea Airlines, gained early renown for transporting refugees from around the world in service to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). It was appointed a designated UN carrier responsible for transporting troops undertaking peacekeeping operations around the world. It was likewise the go-to airline for Muslim Hajj pilgrims flying to Saudi Arabia.
To date, Orient Thai Airlines remains the only domestic and international carrier to bear the Royal Seal of Thailand, made possible in part due to owner Udom Tantiprasonchai’s close ties with the Kind of Thailand, and his efforts in helping the country break traditional commercial barriers.
The airline has pledged to offer reasonable and competitive rates to its passengers, while paying attention to the smallest details, like free on-board snacks and drinks, and warm, attentive services towards all its customers.
Orient Thai Airlines currently has a fleet of 15 aircraft servicing domestic and local destinations that include Hong Kong, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hat Yai, Phuket, Trang, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Udon Thani.
