udon thani to singapore

Post by hxjohn » June 17, 2006, 12:09 am

Good news for udon thani with the first of many international routes opening up
Although Singapore is not my favorite place I am sure a lot of people will find the service very useful
With Singapore airlines putting the A380 airbus into service later this year could be
A good idea to fly non stop to Singapore then 2 hour hop to udon thani
Off course you can do that anyway but I would like to try out the new airplane
I have just finished a contract for airbus uk when you see the size of the wings only you get a idea of the size of the thing

Suggested international routes
1= Hong Kong
2= Hanoi
3= Vientiane :shock:
4= Katmandu
5= new deli
6= Manchester :lol:

Singapore um well I think I found it a very sterile and boring city in fact I enjoyed the thai shopping centre a popular place for thais in Singapore to hang out
They even had karaoke :lol:
Still think udon thani could do with some more routes overseas the Manchester flight would be a good one

According to the newspaper I saw today - the Udon/Singapore journey will be a 3 times weekly service, using an A320. (Still no prices yet)

Talking about the SIN-UTH startup, I heard that the inaugural flight was suppose to be on 01 July. Anyone know more about this? And isn't it Tiger Air out of SIN that is operating this route? I checked their website today but could not find UTH in their reservation system.

Thanks for any update.

The BangkokPost reported today that the flight was delay because of lack of a passenger-screening system and customs officers has forced Tiger Airways to postpone its planned service between Udon Thani and Singapore, originally scheduled to begin this month, for at least another two weeks.

Over here no announcement from the carrier about the new flight to UT in the newspapers except they will increase additional flights to Bangkok, Phuket and Krabi in 14/8. Hopefully, it will take off.

Addendum to that. Although the press release was all about Udon it didn't specfically say the extra routes were from here, it may be from Singapore.I am seeking clarification of that. Will advise when I hear.

Any word on prices as of 20/july ????
This would be ideal. Melb-Singapore-Udon.
Would cut out a lot of hassles and time and 2 exrta takeoff-landings per rounder.

With the increase in Chinese wealth and trade expanding you will find Udon has been nominated as a major transport hub.

Well looks like the press release may have been premature and the inaugral flight will be delayed. Apparently Customs & Excise and Immigration Dept had agreed to be ready to operate from that date another ministry hadn't. Would you believe The Ministry of Agriculture, yes thats right the Ministry of Agriculture. Many will question what a dept specialising in growing crops had to do with an airport opening, well apparently they have to have a facility for the quarantine of livestock and plants as well as a testing facility for ensuring the safety of meat products that may be brought into the country, and no one thought to incorporate that into the initial plan.So a whole new building, seperate from the main one has to be constructed to house them.
Any comment would be superflous sufficient to say TIT. :roll:

Flights to Singapore will commence on Tuesday 15th August I was assured yesterday by someone who is in a position to know, no name dropping, but they don't get any higher up the ladder.

I was thinking I could save a few dollars on Singapore Air to the USA and bypass Bangkok by taking the 1200 baht flight to Singapore and from there to SFO.HAA,7-8000 baht more expensive,coach class.

So far, no news yet. Are thet still setting up the customs and quarantine dept.? I think all Udonmap members should go over to the airport to help them out.

Tony from Singapore
