Any idea why they closing such a lucrative route
Btw.. they started CCU - BKK in Dec end and this route already had 4 daily flights ( incl Air Asia ).. ok.. 3 of these flights (2 *9W and TG) catered only to traders / couriers but still..
this was announced about 4 weeks+ back yes, but full loads were perhaps because they are not dictating price on this route and undercutting to get loads. so maybe it was not lucrative enough. also, do remember that from BOM and DEL, you pay some of the highest airport charges, each of which are payable per flight, so they'd rather use their slots for something else, I guess. Customers don't see this esp. when they want to fly to BKK, they want ultra low fares.
