some comments from BR president in the Chiang Mai launch about new routes and plans..
new destinations possible are Penang and Yangon. They flew to both of these destinations before so if it happens it will be resumption. It seems like time slots are an issue for them. (Maybe at TPE? Don't think penang and yangon are difficult to get slots, but it seems that they had difficulty getting slots in chiang mai.. )
India and new Australia and Europe destinations are under evaluations (though they have been saying it for the past 2 years.. nothing happened.)
787 will go first Osaka, Hong Kong, Macau, Hanoi (surprise!) and then Brisbane later.
