Increasing Australian Direct Flights
In less than a year of operating direct Australia-Phuket flights, V Australia and Pacific Blue are already increasing their frequencies from five to seven flights per week.
From August 19, low-cost carrier Pacific Blue will raise Perth-Phuket frequency from two to three flights per week. It launched the service on November 14 last year.
From December 20, its sister boutique airline V Australia will increase the Melbourne-Phuket service from one to two flights per week. It inaugurated the flight on December 4 last year.
The frequency of V Australia's twice-weekly Brisbane-Phuket service, launched on November 29 last year, will remain unchanged.
Raymond Honings, managing director of LTU Asia, the airlines' GSA in Thailand, said the five existing flights had been enjoying an average load factor of more than 90 per cent to full house from their inauguration dates.
