Thai Airways reinforces confidence in new Brussels-Bangkok route

Mr. Piyasvasti Amranand, THAI President, said that THAI has begun serving the route Bangkok-Brussels-Bangkok at the start of its Winter Program, in order to meet rising passenger demand for travel from Europe to Thailand that increases particularly during Europe’s winter season. THAI’s service to and from Bangkok-Brussels also makes travel more convenient within the European Union. In addition, THAI as the national carrier of Thailand aids in the efforts to rejuvinate the country following the national flood disaster, especially revival of travel, tourism, and transport. Several countries that issued travel advisories concerning travel to Thailand have lifted these warnings. Water levels have receded in several areas in Bangkok and provinces have dried out.

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and THAI’s 72 nd destination. THAI’s first flight from Bangkok to Brussels TG934 departed from Bangkok at 00.30 hours on 17 November 2011, whereas the flight flight to leave from Brussels to Bangkok TG935 departed from Brussels at 13.30 hours on 17 November 2011 and arrived in Bangkok today (18 November 2011) at 06.20 hours. THAI’s new service to and from Brussels was well received by Europeans in nearby countries. The cabin factor for first flight TG935 from Brussels to Bangkok was 91%.

Flight TG934 from Bangkok departs three times per week – on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 00.30 hours, arriving in Brussels at 07.00 hours the same morning. Flight TG935 from Brussels will depart the same days at 13.30 hours, arriving in Bangkok at 06.20 hours the following day. Flight reservations have been available for booking since 1 July 2011.
