Thai Airways starts a new non-stop service between Oslo and Bangkok next month. More than 130,000 Norwegians visited Thailand in 2008 and most headed for the Andaman coast.
The operation will start on 15th June, 2009 and there will be 5 weekly departures on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Departure time from Oslo is 14.55 hrs. with arrival Bangkok at 06.20 hrs. local time on the following day. Departure time from Bangkok is 00.35 hrs. with arrival Oslo at 07.00 hrs. local time on the same day.
The schedule has been adjusted to fit with domestic flights in Norway, as well as with THAI’s flights between Bangkok and regional routes in Asia and Australia/New Zealand.
THAI will use one of its newest aircraft, Airbus 340-500 – the aircraft previously used on the cancelled Bangkok – New York route.
The seat capacity is 215, divided into 60 flatbed seats in Royal Silk Class, 42 seats in Premium Economy Class, and 113 seats in Economy Class. The seat pitch is 60 inches in Royal Silk Class, 42 inches in Premium Economy Class and 36 inches in Economy Class. All seats are equipped with personal in-flight entertainment screens.
The service between Oslo and Bangkok is introduced 30 years after opening of THAI’s sales office in Oslo in 1979. Since then, the growth of traffic between Norway and Asia, leisure as well as corporate, has increased steadily. In 2008, more than 130,000 Norwegians visited Thailand, and THAI has several times received the Norwegian Grand Travel Award for best intercontinental airline.
