MAY 29, 2003 (newstodate): On May 15, Thai Airways International signed an MoU with Vladivostok Air.
The MOU aims to help promote air travel between Thailand and Vladivostok, with the two airlines prepared to sign a bilateral interlineagreement regarding the transport of passengers.
-At present, there are between 8,000-10,000 Russian tourists from Vladivostok travelling to Thailand. They stay an average of 1-2 weeks and have high spending power.Furthermore, since Russia is such a vast country, with regional airlines flying to nearby destinations like China, Korea, and Japan, I have asked THAI to look into holding further discussions with other Russian carriers in cities such as Khabarovsk, Sakhalinsk and Kamchatsky.Further bilateral agreements would help increase the number of arrivals to 20,000 per year, said Mr. Pichate Satirachaval, Deputy Minister of Transport.
He said, THAI is also in discussion with Dalavia Airways which is headquartered in Khabarovsk, 800 miles north of Vladivostok.
