Bangkok Airways has amended its summer flight schedules to Changi and Male.
Instead of suspending flights to Changi from July 2026, Bangkok Airways is reducing its flight frequency to the Singapore airport from Samui from 17 flights a week to 14 weekly flights.
Previously, Bangkok Airways announced it was suspending flights to Changi from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026.
As for its flights from Suvarnabhumi to Male, the capital of the Maldives, Bangkok Airways is withdrawing its four weekly flights to Male from 8 May 2026 till 30 September 2026.
Bangkok Airways is also reducing domestic flights to Krabi and Phuket from Samui, from Suvarnabhumi to Trat and Phuket and from Utapao to Phuket.
Recently, many Asian airlines have either reduced flight frequencies within Asia or suspended flights due to the continuous surge in fuel prices and fuel scarcity as a result of the closure of the Straits of Hormuz.
Both Iran and the U.S. have blocked the Straits of Hormuz to commercial vessels delivering oil to the rest of the world and experts have warned that if the situation continued with no peace agreement signed between both countries, many airlines in the world may be forced to reduce their operation scales or close down operations.
