EMBATTLED One-Two-Go Airlines plans to resume its domestic flight operations with a
full-fledge inflight service in October, later than its original planned date
on September 15.
The airline has been grounded by Thailand Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) since July 22 in violation of safety regulations and substandard operations, until all safety measures, operations and human resources are found to be up to standards.
The airline's founder and CEO, Mr Udom Tantiprasongchai, said the airline was working to meet all standards required by DCA in order to resume domestic flights in October as a "full service" carrier.
Initial routes will be from Bangkok to key regional cities - Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket and Krabi. The airline is set to operate using an upgraded fleet of six Boeing 747s, which are wet leased to be delivered between early next year to 2013 to replace the MD80 aircraft.
