I know we already have BKK, Thailand’s main airport, in the game. Is it possible to add this airport too?
Even though it’s a smaller airport, it has flights from many different airlines. Air France recently launched a direct B777 route to Phuket, and Virgin Atlantic will start flying direct from LHR to HKT this October. I think it would be nice to have it in the game.
It’s definitely possible to add it, it all just depends on whether the demand is there and whether that matches up on the financial side of things. If Thailand was a big spender I’m pretty sure we’d see it in the future.
