Ser ut til at de legger ned ruten til London. De skylder på fuel, Tsunami og lavsesong .. men man skal vel ikke se bort fra at de sliter vel så mye med ryktet ..
Kom i prat med en engelskmann på stranda i formiddag, som hadde fløyet ned med dem.. Scary ... sa han. Mye som hang og slang ombord, og selv om det var billig skulle han finne noe annet hjem til Europa. Han hadde gitt 200 pund for en enkelbillett LON-BKK, så det var ikke noe plagsomt dyrt.
Var det ikke Phuket air som slet litt med overfueling i Emiratene også for noen dager siden ?

Phuket Air suspends Bangkok-London
Phuket Air suspended its Bangkok-London service on April 1, less than 12 months after launching it.
Phuket Air director, Kavida Aisiri said the service, which was cut from five times weekly to thrice weekly in February, was being suspended indefinitely.
“Higher fuel costs, the tsunami and the arrival of the low season are the main factors. But we hope to reinstate the service at a later date,” she said.
The aircraft being used on the London flights, a Boeing 747-200 previously in service with KLM, will be redeployed on the Bangkok-Amsterdam service the company which was scheduled to commence March 26.
The start of a thrice-weekly Kathmandu service which was to have started on March 9 has also been postponed indefinitely, but the thrice-weekly Bali flight using a B757 will still take off beginning Monday, March 28. (TTG Asia)

British and Thai aviation authorities clip Phuket Air’s wings
Jeremy Colson
Thailand’s department of aviation has grounded Phuket Air’s entire fleet and will not allow any of the carrier’s 19 aircraft to fly international or domestic routes until they are deemed safe for passengers.
UK Department of Civil Aviation Authority inspected a 25-year-old aircraft after it landed in London and forced it to return empty to Bangkok for repair. Seen here when the world was still OK, Patana Tareekes, vice president of Phuket Air.
Thai Department of Aviation (DoA) deputy governor, Chaisak Angkasuwan, told TTG Daily News: “We have terminated all their (Phuket Airways) flights within Thailand and overseas and we are now checking them aircraft by aircraft.”
The move by Thailand’s highest aviation authority follows a demand by their UK counterparts who said in a statement on Friday they would not allow further Phuket Air flights into the UK without assurances from the Thai DoA the aircraft were up to international standard.
Meanwhile, passengers booked to fly from Bangkok to London Gatwick at 11.50 p.m. last Monday were being told they would instead be booked into local hotels pending clearance by Thailand’s aviation inspectorate.
“We are planning to fly Tuesday morning at 4 a.m. using the Boeing 747-300 aircraft that we are also using on our Bangkok-Amsterdam route,” said a Phuket Air spokesman.
Earlier, the UK’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office issued an air safety advisory which stated: “The UK CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) has inspected three aircraft used by Phuket Air on services to Gatwick, two of which were found not to comply fully with international aviation standards.”
