| INFORMATION OF bangkok airways |
|

| 1. profile |
| The origins of Bangkok Airways can be traced back to 1968 and a company known as Sahakol Air, which was initially set an air taxi service operating a Tradewind, a twin-engine, ten-seat aircraft during the Vietnam War. The assignments came from Overseas International Construction Company (OICC), an American construction company known as United States Operations Mission (USOM) and a number of other organizations engaged in oil and natural gas exploration in the Gulf of Thailand.
Today, Bangkok Airways flies to a total of 20 destinations in eight countries: Bangkok, Samui, Phuket, Sukhothai, Pattaya Beach (Utapao), Chiang Mai, Trat in Thailand. In Cambodia, we fly to Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat (Siem Reap). We also fly to Jinghong, Xi'an, Guilin, Hong Kong, Zhengzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhenin in China, Luang Prabang in Laos, Yangon in Myanmar, Singapore and Hiroshima in Japan.
In choosing new destinations, Bangkok Airways invariably considers cities with rich cultures and historically important sites, which are not easily accessible to the everyday traveler. This underlines the airline's commitment to help local tourism industries develop their full potential and to promote the local heritage.

|
Under a two-year plan to improve service and operations, Bangkok Airways has signed a five-year lease with Aero International and Aircraft International Renting Ltd.; aimed at standardizing aircrafts used on the airline’s route. The current fleet is comprised of 8 ATR 72-500s, 4 Boeing 717-200s, and 3 Airbus 320s; each aircraft decorated in different liveries of various exotic destinations.
The ATR 72-200, a joint venture between France and Italy, is impeccably airworthy while providing spacious seating and ample cargo space. This model is currently popular among airlines in more than 65 countries around the world.
Boeing 717-200 is a 120-seater twinjet aircraft intended for short-medium haul flights. Its swift service coupled with outstanding dispatch reliability and low maintenance costs makes it one of the safest aircrafts to fly.
The 162-seater Airbus 320, assembled and delivered from its headquarters in Toulouse, France, provides the added passenger capacity to operate on both longer and dense routes. Its fly-by-wire control system makes it one of the most modern aircrafts to grace the skies.
