New Airbus for Bangkok Airways

Bangkok Airways' brand new Airbus A319 has just been delivered to Suvarnabhumi International Airport and will join the airline's fleet on its Phuket and Siem Reap routes.

The aircraft, straight from the factory in Hamburg, Germany, is the first of six ordered by Bangkok Airways, scheduled to come into service over the next two years.

With a one-class configuration, the aircraft has 144-seat capacity and a maximum range of seven hours. The Bangkok Airways fleet currently consists of 16 aircraft: eight ATR 72, four Boeing 717-200, three Airbus 320 and an Airbus 319.
