Bangkok Airways Pcl is gearing up to order as many as 30 new aircraft as it renews its aging fleet and plans for a tourism boost driven by the popularity of television series the White Lotus.
The mid-sized Thai carrier plans to tap planemakers Airbus SE, Boeing Co. and Embraer SA for at least 20 single-aisle jets in the first half of the year, with options to order about 10 more, said Chief Executive Officer Puttipong Prasarttong-Osoth. Its goal is to grow its fleet to at least 30 jets in the next four to five years, including the lease of some aircraft, he said.
