Mr Aswin told the Bangkok Post the airline expects to start flying its new A330-300s internationally in the first quarter of next year with Phuket-Shanghai, currently being served by TLA on a charter basis with B737 aircraft, being the first route on a regular basis.
The mission of the A330-300s will be largely to strengthen TLA's Chinese footprint, especially on the cities more distant from Thailand.
In line with such pursuits, on Nov 10 TLA converted its three Chinese routes -- Hangzhou, Shanghai and Xian -- to regular scheduled operations from a charter basis.
The debut of regular A330-300s services to Japan's Narita and South Korea's Incheon is also most likely to take place sometime next year, subject to regulatory approval.
