THAI ends long-haul flights
(Source : Bangkok Post, July 07, 2008)

THAI has removed ultra long-haul flights from its system with the suspension of its three routes that fall into category -- Bangkok-New York, Bangkok-Los Angeles and Bangkok-Auckland. ''The era of ultra long-haul flights has come to an end,'' THAI executive VP Pandit Chanapai said. THAI's non-stop daily Bangkok-New York, which was introduced in May 2005, stopped July 1, while the non-stop daily Bangkok-Los Angeles and the five-time-a-week Bangkok-Auckland flights are to be suspended in October. Hauling more than 210,000 litres of fuel over long distances undermines the fuel economy. The carrier estimated that continuing the non-stop New York and Los Angeles routes would cause it to lose 120 million a year.
