Thai Airways International (THAI) is confident that the relaunch of its Bangkok-Sendai flights last month will prove to be a success due to support from corporate customers. The flights to the Japanese city were suspended due to the political situation in Thailand.

Thai Airways International president Sumeth Damrongchaitham announced this week that the Bangkok to Sendai flight, which was earlier suspended due to the political situation in Thailand, is all set to resume on October 29 and that the response has been excellent, with 80 per cent of seats booked as far ahead as March 2020.
