Nok Air suspends Phuket flights

Tuesday, 16 Sep, 2008 0

PHUKET: In further bad news for the island’s immediate tourism prospects, the Phuket Gazette has confirmed that low-cost carrier Nok Air has suspended its remaining flights to Phuket, most likely for the rest of the low season.

Nok Air confirmed, “We will resume [flying to] Phuket in the very near future after we have arranged our new TPI [timetable planning] for the coming high season.”

The high season in Phuket nominally kicks off on November 1, with the Phuket Carnival in Patong.

With rival low-cost carrier One-Two-Go grounded until at least October, all regularly scheduled flights between Bangkok and Phuket currently fly out of Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Both Nok Air and One-Two-Go use domestic hub Don Meuang Airport as their base of operations.
