Bangkok Airways (PG) and Finnair (AY) recently
signed a codeshare agreement for services to Thailand’s key
destinations, as well as to Hong Kong and Singapore.
Under the deal which began on 15 January 2012,
the Helsinki-based airline will place its two-letter ‘AY’ code on
Bangkok Airways’ flights between Bangkok-Samui, Bangkok-Phuket,
Bangkok-Chiang Mai, Singapore-Samui and Hong Kong-Samui.
The move
is part of Bangkok Airways’ plan to further expand its codeshare
partnership policy.
“Chiang Mai, Koh Samui and Phuket are regarded
as our favorite destinations for visitors worldwide, whilst Hong
Kong and Singapore offer another unique aspect of Asia,” said
Captain Puttipong Prasarttong-Osoth, President of Bangkok Airways.
“By this co-operation, Finnair will be the only European carrier
that allows stop-over in Asia’s famous ports, namely Hong Kong and
Singapore, before visiting Thailand. We strongly believe this new
cooperation will be very successful.”
“This new codeshare
arrangement will make the paradise island Koh Samui even easier
reach for Finnair passengers,” said Hannu Sundberg, Vice President
for Airline Partnerships at Finnair. “The daily nonstop services
from Helsinki to Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong each connect
with Bangkok Airways services to Koh Samui. The exotic experience
at Koh Samui starts already at the unique airport and continues
throughout the stay. Chiang Mai and the Northern part of Thailand
is gaining popularity among European travelers and it is now well
connected with Finnair's double daily Bangkok services. This new
partnership will open new possibilities to our passengers to visit
Thailand and combine it with other destinations in Asia for added
experience.”
