British Airways was initially scheduled to resume London-Bangkok flights in November after suspending flights since December last year due to low demand.
The tourism operators were hoping the airline would resume flights to Bangkok during the high season, but travel news agency said Thailand is not high on British Airways’ list for flight resumption. This is because this route yields low tourist traffic and there is tight price competition from Middle East carriers.
British Airways said that they are regularly keep their extensive global network under review and have taken the decision to extend the suspension of our Bangkok service. They are in contact with affected customers to apologise, advise them of their consumer rights and offer them alternative options, including a refund or rebooking.
British Airways is now offering flights to Bangkok in collaboration with Qatar Airways, with passengers changing flights in Doha.
Apart from British Airways, Bangkok is losing another flight from the United Kingdom. The budget airline Scoot has announced that it will suspend its newly launched Gatwick-Bangkok-Singapore route from August 21.
However, Scoot said it may reinstate the flights at the end of October, in time for the high season. Currently, only Thai Airways and EVA Air offer direct flights from London’s Heathrow to Bangkok.
