If you read the article/press release, it says "United also will eliminate Tokyo-Bangkok 747 service", not the route.

Thanks for pointing that out. I am not a native speaker so I tried to check carefully. Press release says,

"United also will eliminate Tokyo-Bangkok 747 service and down-gauge Tokyo-Seoul flights, reallocating those long-haul aircraft to more profitable routes."

Down-gauge for NRT-ICN is clearly stated, but how can we read about NRT-BKK?
