Nond said new flights will be launched between Bangkok and Vienna, Austria; Brussels, Belgium; and Paris, France by year-end, while for 2020, They plan to maintain their foothold over Europe and grow their presence in the emerging markets as well as in India and Japan.

“The Japan route has been a potential market for some time now, so more routes to Japan will be available to serve the needs of a certain group of passengers,” Nond said.

“Also, flights to Europe should not be ignored as 80 percent of these flights have been booked in advance,” he added.

Thai Airways is also bullish about its business outlook for the year due to a stronger baht.
