Keep an eye on this one!

The pay is currently the lowest of all the 767 operators in BKK.

But it is joint owned by H.I.S. travel group (which is a HUGE Japanese travel and tour company with world wide offices) and the Baiyoke Hotel group which owns a chain of Hotels in Thailand, including the tallest hotel in Bangkok. In other words, there are deep pockets behind this one and those people have the travel industry experience and track record to make this work. Quite a contrast to all the other Charter Airlines in Thailand. HIS has been chartering 767s from the other airlines for years. Now they can bring it in house and have some quality control over it. They will initially serve the Japan - Thailand market, but have plans to include a number of other destinations including Hawaii and Guam. They have big plans for expansion, and why not since they already charter other airlines for lots of routes.

If I had to choose one 767 operator in BKK to put my money on, it would be this one.
