SGA Airlines remains in expansion mood

 Jain Charnnarong, president, said the low-cost airline is planning to add flights for the Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai route in July, from one daily flight to two. So far this year, it has cancelled some flights in some routes particularly the Bangkok-Hua Hin, as travellers prefer travelling to the destination by car. The airline also witnessed a slight drop in the number of passengers for Northern routes - Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai-Mae Hong Son, and Chiang Mai-Pai - but overall, the business potential remains bright. SGA will review in October if it will increase the flight frequency for the Chiang Mai-Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai-Pai routes.

 SGA has joined hands with hotels in Pai and other districts of Mae Hong Son to promote travelling in the low season. Supporting this is the ongoing extension of the Pai Airport's runway.
