JAL and Bangkok Airways to Expand Codeshare Flights

Japan Airlines (JAL) and Bangkok Airways (PG) have agreed to further expand codeshare flights on PG operated routes between Bangkok and select cities in the Southeast Asia region from 7 May 2014, subject to government approval.

JAL is currently serving the codeshare network from Bangkok to five destinations, which are Thai domestic cities (Phuket, Chiang Mai, Ko Samui), Mumbai and Male.

Now, JAL will expand its codeshare network to eight new destinations in Southeast Asia, the region of rapid economic growth with rich tourism resources, including Myanmar (Yangon, Nai Pyi Taw, Mandalay), Cambodia (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap), Lao PDR (Vientiane, Luang Prabang), and Thailand (Chiang Rai).

All codeshare flights have smooth connectivity to and from JL operated Haneda=Bangkok services, of which JAL has doubled its daily flights from 30 March 2014.
