Raj 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2017 dont know there's a viable market between indonesia and india especially the sumatera region or maybe they are relying on ex/in KUL pax From Medan there is a small market, however this is mainly due to the fact that Malaysian carriers cannot get more slots in Chennai. So Malindo use's batik to work their way around getting slots and they have the chennai route pretty much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think marketing didnt do well. Dunno how many times i have to inform my sabahan friends that there is a direct bki-bkk route.

Thai Smile/Thai Airways should be more aggressive in promoting this route, maybe one year in advance especially at networks west of BKK (India, Europe in particular)... The company was the one who said that Europeans were expected to contribute much of the feeder traffic to this route. Route planners in TG/WE too hasty I guess with no effective strategy to make it really sustainable in long term... Local tour companies should promote this route too, but I am not sure whether the airline cooperate with them. Edited August 16, 2017 by Alif A. F. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes to travelling for Sabahan, our northern neighbours like Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam are not as popular as places like HK, Taipei, China or even Korea and Australia. There are people who travel to these northern countries but in small amount. They prefer North Asia's destinations due to convenience of direct service.

They have multiple flights into ICN daily. Choose carefully the equipment you wanna be on next time. There's one 77W which makes a transit in ICN for onwards journey to SFO. Nothing bigger than 77W.
