Bangalore: Thai low-cost carrier Nok Air is withdrawing its operations on the Bangalore-Bangkok route this month with its last flight operating on November 23, 2007.
Nok Air started operations in India by launching daily Bangalore-Bangkok flight in June this year. Bangalore was also the first international destination for Nok Air, which operates to 11 destinations in Thailand. After Bangalore, the airline had planned to launch daily flights from Hyderabad, Chennai and Delhi to Bangkok early next year.
This is the second low cost carrier flying to South East Asia that will suspend its operations to the city . Early this year, JetStar Asia withdrew its five flights per week service on the Bangalore-Singapore sector citing low passenger load factor.
All the passengers who have been booked on the flight after November 23 will be transferred to Thai Airways.According to industry sources like JetStar Asia, Nok Air too found the route unviable. According to sources, Nok Air passenger load factor fell to 40%.
