TAT Governor Phornsiri Manoharn, who welcomed the 280 passengers who arrived in Bangkok on Monday, said it would go a long way towards boosting arrivals from Scandinavia, one of Thailand’s top source markets for visitor arrivals in Europe.
“Sweden is the fourth largest source of arrivals from Europe,” Phornsiri said.
“Swedish travellers get visa free entry to Thailand. The SAS services will play a major role in boosting travel between the two countries.”
In January-August 2007, arrivals from Sweden at Suvarnabhumi International Airport were up by 20 percent to 131,651. The Stockholm-Bangkok route will complement SAS’ existing Copenhagen-Bangkok route. The Airbus A340-300 service offers Business, Economy Extra and Economy classes.
The flight will operate on Monday, Thursday and Saturday while the return Bangkok – Stockholm flight will operate on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.
