Thai Lion Air will be the first airline in Thailand to operate the 737-900ER.

Thai Lion Airs CEO, Captain Darsito Hendroseputro, said the carrier hopes to launch operations in early December, subject to regulatory approval.

Its first three routes are to be Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.
