Bangkok Airways Closes Lounges, Reduces Flights and Delays Launches

Bangkok Airways has confirmed the delay of planned new route launches, temporarily reduced flights to some destinations, and will close all of its passenger lounges and F&B kiosks from 8 January 2021 until further notice.

The changes follow the current outbreak of COVID19 in Thailand, which has prompted some cities in the country to reintroduce certain restrictions:

The airline has revised the launch date of the following three new routes:

- Bangkok – Hat Yai (round-trip) will be launched on 1 April 2021.

- Bangkok – Khon Kaen (round-trip) will be launched on 1 May 2021.

- Bangkok – Mae Sot (Tak) (round-trip) will be launched on 1 June 2021.

Bangkok Airways has also temporarily suspended the following routes from 8-31 January 2021:

- Bangkok – Sukhothai (round-trip).

- Bangkok – Trat (round-trip).

- Phuket – U-Tapao (round-trip).

PG's flights to the following destinations have been reduced:

- Bangkok – Samui (round-trip) from 8 January – 28 February 2021.

- Bangkok - Lampang (round-trip) from 8 January – 28 February 2021.

- Bangkok – Chiang Mai (round-trip) from 8 January – 28 February 2021.

- Bangkok – Sukhothai (round-trip) from 1 – 28 February 2021.

- Bangkok Trat (round-trip) from 1 – 28 February 2021.

Whilst the airport lounges and kiosks will be closed, passengers will still receive a snacks bag (to take home) on board all Bangkok Airways flights.

Passengers affected by temporary flight reductions and route suspensions can rebook their tickets without any change fees.
