Bangkok (VNA) – Thai Airways is considering to cancel six air routes to four Southeast Asian nations, including Vietnam.
President of Thai Airways International (THAI) Sumeth Damrongchaitham said the national flag carrier is set to cancel six direct flights to Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam.
All the routes connects Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport to Vientiane, Luang Prabang (Laos), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) and Yangon (Myanmar).
