On-Board Bangkok Airways

In 1968, the airline became the first private aviation company in Thailand by establishing Sahakol Air. It provided charter services through its first aircraft, Trade Wind, which was a two-engine, 9-seater plane. Regular charter assignments came from oil and natural gas exploration companies in the Gulf of Thailand.

With an increase in demand for air transportation, Bangkok Airways became the country’s first privately-owned domestic airline and began its operations in 1986. Initially, it offered scheduled flights from Bangkok to Krabi, Korat, and Surin. Today, it offers services across various other destinations both within and outside Thailand. The aviation company has also invested in building and maintaining privately-operated airports at Trat, Samui and Sukhothai.
