From our study, this route has high demand both inbound and outbound," Mr Charamporn said. "The study also found that demand from travellers in neighbouring countries that want to fly to Moscow through Bangkok is relatively high."He said the company's new flight schedule of new and resurrected routes would improve efficiency of flying hour usage for each plane, from 11 hours a day to 13, to reach an optimum level on a par with industry norms.Once THAI has improved the efficiency of its plane utilisation and routes for existing aircraft, including the new Airbus 350-900 XWB, the company can expand with further routes without needing to acquire new planes for a long while.In the fourth quarter of this year, THAI plans to increase the frequency of flights to Melbourne by using the Airbus 350-900 XWB for the route.
