THAI Airways International (THAI) plans to launch a wholly owned domestic airline called “Euarng Luang” or “Royal Orchid” in the middle of this year to serve high-end domestic passengers. THAI intends to place more emphasis on the international routes.
The new airline will be THAI’s second domestic carrier, following Nok Air, which operates low cost domestic flights. Nok Air is partly owned by THAI.
The new airline is expected to start operation from Don Muang Airport, which is expected to remain operational exclusively for low cost carriers, once Suvarnabhumi Airport opens in the middle of this year.
THAI chairman, Wanchai Sarathulthat, said the new airline would serve domestic passengers who prefer premium services.
