Clarification on Bangkok Airways' new flights to Vientiane

IN OUR online article dated September 7, 2012, we reported that “Bangkok Airways will commence a daily service to Vientiane, marking a comeback to the Lao capital after a hiatus of four years”. In fact, the new service is Bangkok Airways’ inaugural flight to Vientiane as the carrier has never flown to the Lao capital before.

From December 1, Bangkok Airways will commence a daily service to Vientiane, marking the carrier’s first-ever connection to the Lao capital.

Using Airbus A319 aircraft, the outbound flight will depart from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport at 08.15 and arrive in Vientiane at 09.30. The return flight will leave Vientiane at 10.10 and land in Bangkok at 11.25.

Other carriers serving the Bangkok-Vientiane sector include Thai Airways International, Lao Airlines and Lao Central Airlines.
