Hong Kong Airlines Partners Bangkok Airways to Codeshare

Hong Kong Airlines and Bangkok Airways have entered into codeshare partnership, providing business travellers with more flexibility and enhanced connectivity between Hong Kong and Thailand.

Under the agreement, Hong Kong Airlines customers can travel with Bangkok Airways to Koh Samui directly from Hong Kong or via Bangkok using its domestic flights between Bangkok and Koh Samui.

“Hong Kong Airlines launched the route to Bangkok since 2010 and now the city has become one of our best-connected destinations with 37 weekly flights currently,” says Li Dianchun, chief commercial officer, Hong Kong Airlines. “The codeshare provides more flexible travel options by enabling our passengers to travel to Koh Samui, another hot destination in Thailand, directly from Hong Kong or through our flights between Hong Kong and Bangkok and connect their journeys to and from Samui.”
