Air Thailand has started recruiting cabin crew in preparation for its flight operations.
This airline is a rebrand of the former Asian Atlantic Airlines. It received operational permission on August 29, 2023, which includes authorization to operate three Airbus A330 aircraft. Its base is at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport, with plans to expand routes to Tokyo/Narita, Osaka/Kansai, Hokkaido, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Dubai. A partnership for Mecca pilgrimage charters has also been concluded with Dubai’s ALTA.
Initially, from October, the airline aims to operate four round trips per week from Bangkok to Tokyo/Narita, Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu. The fleet will consist of Airbus A330-200 and Airbus A330-300 aircraft. The airline states that the airfare will include checked baggage and in-flight services.
The former Asian Atlantic Airlines, based in Bangkok, was a charter flight airline established with investment from H.I.S.’s Japanese and Thai entities, among others. It began operations in 2013 but faced delays in launching due to a lack of government approval, effects of a coup in Thailand, and restrictions on new flights imposed after the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) designated Thailand with a “Significant Safety Concern (SSC).” As a result, the airline continued to incur losses and ceased operations in October 2018, leading H.I.S. to record a special loss of approximately 1.8 billion yen.
