It's not showing in the Airline Inventory System yet. But only I can think of that UL want to continue utilise the local rights from Bangkok after they start flying nonstop flights from Colombo to Beijing and Shanghai. Proposed Bangkok frequency could be like below.Originally posted by Azamh View Post
CMB-BKK-HKG - Daily A320, CMB-BKK-CAN - Daily A320, CMB-BKK-CTU - Three weekly A320Comment

Wish Mihin got the A321 that Banu was talking about instead of MSN1946 which is almost 10 years old.Comment

I totally agree with Kflyer and Slaviator. There is a bigger aim behind of this coporatoion with UL and MJ. If you look at there are lot of full service carriers are suffering and thus they use this technique of having a subsidery LCC. Lot of examples to get off EK started flydubai and feeding in and out, SQ started Scoot and feeding in and out, QF started Jetstar and feeding in and out, Qatar is planing their own LCC.... these big players are making these move to catch up some part of their low end budget passenger business. So it is same that UL doing with Mihin. If you look at financials of MJ and UL you will realize. Please note flydubai to make its first profit it took nearly 5 yrs. So its not a miracle soon you restructure your business you will get the benefits right away. You will see this benefits with MJ in another couple of years.Originally posted by Kflyer View PostComment
