Thai Lion Air, a subsidiary of Indonesia's largest private airline Lion Air, will launch its new Bangkok-Singapore service on Saturday.
The carrier has flown an international route in the past, Bangkok-Jakarta, but that service was closed for economic reasons.
According to Thai Lion Air CEO Aswin Yangkirativorn, Singapore is a potential market for the airline as it is one of the world's most popular shopping destinations.
Initially, Thai Lion Air will serve the Bangkok-Singapore route with one flight per day, or seven flights per week, with a Boeing 737-900 ER that can accommodate 215 passengers.
The company has set a passenger occupancy target of 90 percent for the service.
"The maiden flight is almost full," said Aswin as quoted by kontan.co.id. (kes)(++++)
