Hoʻomau ka hoʻolālā ʻo Bangkok Airways: hoʻopaʻa i nā ala waiwai a ʻaʻole e ʻae i ka hoʻokūkū e hele mai a inā pēlā… ma ke kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻololi a hiki i ka deregulation piha i ka lani ASEAN e 2013.

Ma hope o ke kali ʻana he ʻumi makahiki, e wehe ʻo Thai Airways i kahi huakaʻi hou i loko o hoʻokahi pule. ʻO ka Pōʻalima aʻe, e lele ʻelua ka moku mokulele o Thailand i ka lā me kahi Boeing 737-400 i Samui Island, e uhaʻi ana i ka monopoli o Bangkok Airways ma kēia ala. Ua hāʻawi hope ʻo ke Keʻena ʻOihana Kivila o Thailand i kāna kukui ʻōmaʻomaʻo e ʻae i ʻehā mau mokulele i kēlā me kēia lā a hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka ʻae ʻana no ka Boeing 737-400 a me Airbus A319 ma ke kahua mokulele. Ma kahi ʻāina ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka hōʻea ʻana o kahi mokulele lua ma ke ala like e hoʻokūkū maoli ai. Ma Thailand, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā mea.

ʻO ka kūleʻa o Samui i hoʻohālikelike ʻia e Bangkok Airways, nāna i wehe i ke kahua mokulele o ka mokupuni i ka makahiki 1989 a ua kōkua i ka hoʻohuli ʻana i kēia paradaiso kaulana loa i wahi hoʻi hou. I ka makahiki 2006, ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi miliona mau malihini i hele mai i ka mokupuni - kokoke i ka 900,000 he mau haole. Aia ma kahi o 298 mau hōkele me 7,800 lumi a ʻoi aku ka mea e hiki mai ana.

Ke alo nei i ka hoʻokūkū ma kāna mākeke koʻikoʻi, ua hoʻomaha iki ka hopena o Bangkok Airways. He mea paʻakikī nō hoʻi ke hoʻāʻo e paio me ka moku lawe moku, ʻoiai e ʻike ʻia ana e hakakā me ke Aupuni Thai ponoʻī. A ke mālama nei ʻo Bangkok Airways i ka monopoly holoʻokoʻa no nā lawelawe honua ma ke kahua mokulele. ʻO ke kahua mokulele i kūkulu ʻia e Bangkok Airways, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā kumukūʻai nui loa ma Thailand me nā uku e like me nā mea i nīnau ʻia ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. "Pono mākou e kiʻi i kahi bila no nā lawelawe ʻāina i ka 20 pakeneka i ka 30 pakeneka ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mokulele Thai ʻē aʻe," wehewehe ʻo Pandit Chanapai, hope pelekikena Marketing a me Sales o Thai Airways.

Wahi a ka pūnaewele DCA o Thailand, e uku ʻia kahi Boeing 737-400 e hana ana ma kahi ʻano maʻamau me ke kaumaha o ka lawe ʻana he 62.8 tons e uku ʻia ma Surat Thani baht 5,466 no ka pae ʻana a me baht 6,280 ma Samui.

Kūkulu ʻia e Bangkok Airways a mālama ʻia a hiki i kēia manawa e ka mokulele, ua hoʻololi ʻia ke kahua mokulele ʻo Samui i ka Samui Airport Property Fund, nona kekahi hapa e Bangkok Airways. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka lawelawe ʻo ia ka waiwai nui o ke kahua mokulele ʻo Samui- ʻoiai ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ke kahua mokulele ʻo Surat Thani. Eia nō naʻe, i loko o nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala iho nei, ua hoʻololi nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe i Koh Samui e Bangkok Airways i ka huakaʻi i "Western tourist ghetto" e hoʻonui ana i nā kumukūʻai ma ka hōkele a me ka ʻoihana lawelawe. Ua hāʻule nā ​​​​huakaʻi home ma Samui i nā pae i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma nā wahi hoʻokele kai ʻē aʻe. Wahi a nā ʻikepili kūhelu mai ka Tourism Authority o Thailand, ua hōʻike ʻia ka poʻe malihini kipa kūloko o ka mokupuni ʻo Samui i ka makahiki 2006 he 15.36 pakeneka wale nō o nā mea i hōʻea mai; ma Phuket, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā malihini kipa i ka 35.9 pakeneka o nā mea i hōʻea mai a hiki i ka 45.7 pakeneka ma Krabi.

"ʻO ka manawa kēia e hiki ai iā Samui ke 'hiki' i ka poʻe Thai," wahi a Chanapai. Hoʻolālā ʻo Thai Airways e hāʻawi i nā kumukūʻai kūikawā a puni ka makahiki. ʻO kahi hoʻolaha i kēia manawa ma Bht 6,310 a hiki i Malaki 15th e hana hou ʻia i ka wā e hiki mai ana. Hoʻolālā ka mokulele i kahi kumu hale o 75-80 pakeneka ma ke ala hou me ka 70 pakeneka o ke kaʻa e hele mai ana mai nā mea hoʻoili. "Manaʻo mākou e lawe ma waena o 12,000 a me 14,000 mau mea kaʻa i kēlā me kēia mahina," wānana ʻo Chanapai.

ʻOiai ke ʻike nei ʻo Bangkok Airways i kāna māhele mākeke i hoʻopau iki ʻia e Thai Airways - ke manaʻo nei ka mea lawe moku aupuni e hoʻohui i ke kolu o ka lele ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā i kahi kokoke e hiki mai ana-, e hōʻoluʻolu mau ʻia ʻo Bangkok Airways mai ke koena o kāna pūnaewele. ʻO Bangkok-Siem Reap - lawelawe ʻia ma ka monopoly mai nā makahiki he kanaiwa - ʻo ia paha ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi loa ma Asia Hikina Hema me ke kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa loa i kūʻai ʻia ma baht 9,800 (US$305 me ka ʻole o nā ʻauhau no kahi mokulele 50 mau minuke).

I kēia manawa, ua lanakila ʻo Bangkok Airways i ka pale ʻana i nā mea lawe ʻē aʻe e neʻe i ke ala kaulana. Ma Luang Prabang, ua hana maikaʻi ka mokulele: ʻo ia wale nō ka hāʻawi ʻana i ʻekolu mau huakaʻi hoʻomaha ʻole i kēlā me kēia lā i Bangkok me kahi tiketi hoʻi e kūʻai ʻia ana no Baht 9,500 (US$297). Ua ʻāpono ʻia nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe i kēia mau wahi e ka Pelekikena o Bangkok Airways, ʻo Prasert Prasartthong-Osoth, ma muli o ka lawe ʻana o ka mokulele i ka pilikia e paionia i kēlā mau ala.

He oiaio i kekahi wahi. Ua wiwo ʻole ʻo Bangkok Airways e hoʻomaka i ka lele ʻana i Siem Reap ma kahi o 12 mau makahiki i hala aku nei ma waena o ka haunaele politika o Cambodia. Eia nō naʻe, i kēia lā, ʻo Cambodia kahi huakaʻi huakaʻi maʻamau, paʻakikī ke manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ka lele ʻana i Angkor Wat, kekahi o nā wahi hoʻoilina kaulana loa o ka honua, he paʻakikī kālā a he mea pono e mālama i kahi monopoli ma ke ala ʻo Bangkok-Siem Reap. . ʻAʻohe mea e hoʻololi a hiki i ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana o ka lani ASEAN ma 2013. ʻO ka hope, ʻelima mau makahiki ma mua.
