reader Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 From The Thaiger British Airways (BA) resumes flights to Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok this year, marking a significant step in its regional expansion strategy. Chairman and CEO Sean Doyle expressed the importance of this strategic return. “For a global carrier like us, expanding our network in Asia as quickly as possible is crucial. With more aircraft joining our fleet in the coming years, we are looking East as well as West in our expansion plans.” tm_nyc and khaolakguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaolakguy Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Sounds like a "resumption" not an "expansion"! reader, tm_nyc and Ruthrieston 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA stopped the service some years ago, as not enough biz class pax. And they are only resuming it from Gatwick, using their 20+ yr old 777-200 aircraft. So no new biz seat, the 8 across seats will be there, and their oldest long range aircraft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most flights back to UK, are day flights. So at least one gets a bit more time to sort out the stamp collection. Or discuss local authority borders! vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, predictive text, 'airlines' should have been 'airmiles'! I didn't notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
