Bangkok Air Enters Luxury Executive Charter Business

Bangkok Airways, the self- styled ‘ boutique’ airlines, plans to enter the executive jet charter business, by converting one of its Airbus 319 jets with a luxurious private cabin, which would be conducive for high- level corporate travellers. The cabin would have sofas, tables, other amenities, and could accommodate 12 passengers, while the rest of the aircraft would still contain regular airline seats.

The VIP conversion kit, purchased at a price of $ 56 million from France, made it possible for the 33.8 metre- long A 319 aircraft to be changed to a luxurious cabin, when needed, and then, switching back to a normal commercial airline seating arrangement system for day- to- day scheduled flights.
