SOMCHAI POOMLARDThailand's domestic air traffic market has nearly reached saturation point, with very little room left for further expansion by airlines, according to the industry. This comes as Thai skies have become overcrowded and main airports -- Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket and Chiang Mai -- are facing critical congestion, largely due to handling capacity constraints. That network currently covers Chengdu, Chongqing and Nanchang -- all from Don Mueang -- as the airline has seen travel demand from secondary cities in China surging. TAA is set to launch a non-stop flight from Don Mueang to Danang, Vietnam on June 9. The carrier offers three flights a day from Don Mueang to Ho Chi Minh City and two daily services to Hanoi.
