PB Air halves flights on southern route

The Bangkok Post reports that competition from Nok Air has led to PB Air cutting flights from 14 to 7 a week on the Bangkok to Nakhon Si Thammarat route. PB Air will also return a 114-seat Airbus A319 that it had leased from Druk Air of Bhutan for the route. PB Air Pres Jothin Pamon-Montri said the changes had been made because seats were oversupplied when Nok Air began flying the route on October 30. PB Air will continue to use a 50-seat Embraer jet to reflect what Capt Jothin said was actual demand.
