Nok Air yesterday launched its first international flight, to Yangon.
CEO Patee Sarasin said that demand for the Bangkok-Yangon route was high, despite 2,000 seats being available per day on other Thailand-based airlines. Nok Air is confident that the load factor of this route would be at least 80 per cent.
He said the company is looking at the possibility of flying to other destinations in Myanmar, including Nay Pyi Taw, Mandalay and Bagan.
Despite the lower purchasing power and floods, he foresees brisk flying demand in the last quarter. This year's average load factor would be around 87-88 per cent. Nok Air plans to enlarge the fleet with 16 more aircraft, with two Boeing 737-800 to be delivered this month.
