BANGKOK — Thailand’s beleaguered national airline said Monday it will suspend flights to the U.S. as part of efforts to end years of losses.
The airline will suspend the unprofitable four round-trip flights per week from Bangkok to Los Angeles and from Bangkok to Rome, starting October 25, Thai Airways President Jarumporn Chotikasathein said in a statement.
He said the two routes “failed to meet every criterion” for viability including their 10-year performance, market potential and the number of connecting passengers.
State-owned Thai Airways canceled its non-stop flights from Bangkok to Los Angeles in 2012, adding a layover in Seoul.
