Damen Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 The NW hub is in Minneapolis. American is Dallas. United is Chicago. Those are actually home bases. UAL for example has several hubs: ORD SFO LAX IAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 UAL, head offices in Chicago, so that makes it their hub? Agree, they have several hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Shygye is right. No non-Thai passenger carriers have a hub in BKK. Maybe one of the LLCs like Air Asia could call it a hub but I haven't checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I meant LCCs (low cost carriers), before anyone googles LLCs and thinks I meant something like Low Life Cnuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchapstick Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I'm sure a few of the latter use BKK as a hub as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, Eva and Cathay were non Thai http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 That might be technically correct, that one could come in from Taipei and change planes in BKK to go somewhere in Europe, but calling it a hub is almost like splitting hairs. The link you posted listed only one hub for Singapore Airlines - Changi. But I could cite examples of their hub operations at NRT and SEL and some others, I'm sure, by this definition. Of course, BKK doesn't want to lose any flights, but these are small operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Suvarnabhumi operates at full capacity Suvarnabhumi International Airport is back to full operation on Monday, with all international flights resume their routes to and from the airport that serves as Asia's fourth-busiest aviation hub. According to Airports of Thailand (AoT), all international flights that had suspended operations while People's Allaince for Democracy (PAD) supporters occupied the airport for eight days have resumed their services. It also said that problem concerning the display of flight schedules on monitors has been solved. The AoT will call a meeting with related agencies on Thursday to estimate costs of damage, which result from the closure of the airport by the anti-government protesters. The board may also discuss actions the AoT would take against the PAD protesters. http://www.bangkokpost.com/topstories/topstories.php?id=135240 ready to serve me in a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
