Betong flights cancelled for lack of interest

[Coss]

Nok Air cancelled its new Bangkok-Betong flights on Wednesday and Friday due to lack of passengers, promised refunds for the few tickets sold and suspended the service.

The budget airline said there had been too little marketing time* and consequently the number of passengers booked on the route was smaller than expected, while the operating cost was quite high...

...On Monday Nok Air inaugurated the service with a flight from Don Mueang airport to Betong carrying Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and a high-level delegation. The prime minister then officially opened the airport to commercial services...

In related news, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has asked if he and his high-level delegation could do the flight again next Monday, as they quite enjoyed the day out of the office.

 

* - marketing speak manual, page 42, paragraph 6.1 -  "too little marketing time",  a stock phrase for no marketing, or failed marketing.

How they hoped to make money from this is anybodies guess, population is only 25,000 and 5,000 of them are Sex Workers

Betong  is just a major brothel for Malays who pop over the border for a pop.

That's why Prayut wants to return, regular, every Monday...
