Corporate Bits | Thai smile to suspend Macau-Bangkok route

Regional airline Thai Smile will suspend its flights between the Macau International Airport (MIA) and the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok starting in September, due to commercial reasons.
The budget airline began flights between Bangkok and Macau in 2012 and as of 2014, operated two daily flights.
By March 2015, the airline had reduced its service to a single flight per day, and announced shortly afterwards that it was considering the suspension of the route, due to an insufficient number of passengers.
Flights  will  officially  cease  from  September 1,
according to Thai Smile’s website.
Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok is currently the airline’s only Macau route, raising the possibility that it will stop its MIA operations altogether.
