In USM's case where the owner and operator of the airport, Bangkok Airways have limited interest in that, it is not like to be granted a dispensation. Even applied for is unlikely
Ah, thanks, it's all making sense, i'm applying non-Thai way of thinking.
Fortunately I found multiple videos of Bangkok Airways flying A320's into USM, but all from a couple of years ago, so i'm not going mad, they've obviously made changes to impact Thai. Also, TG do not own any A320's anymore do they? All transferred to Thai Smile (WE) are they not? I don't understand the AOC/legal split of TG/WE and if a couple of A320's could be transferred back as obviously they wouldn't want to operate the route under the Thai Smile brand. Not at THB5000 for a 50 minute flight anyway?
All fun and games
