Thai cargo airline K-Mile Asia commences flights on Dhaka-Bangkok route

Dhaka : Thailand-based express cargo airline K-Mile Asia launched flights between Dhaka and Bangkok. 

Under the new service, K-Mile will operate five weekly flights, said reports.
The new service between Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport also upgrades and expands K-Mile's network, with a B737-800BCF next-generation aircraft replacing a B737-400 Classic to serve Hong Kong and Dhaka. 

K-Mile has added two B737-800BCF aircraft to its fleet, increasing capacity and range while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. 

The aircraft is 15 per cent more fuel efficient than the earlier B737-400s and can transport a payload of up to 23 tons with a range of up to 3,700 km.

"We are delighted to continue to grow K-Mile's cargo network with the aircraft up gauge to Hong Kong in addition to this new route serving Thailand and Bangladesh. Our new aircraft expand our service offering, and we will continue to respond to customer requirements to develop a quality and reliable ASEAN cargo network," said Pansith Sasunee, Managing Director, K-Mile. 

Established in 2004, K-Mile began operations in 2006, providing both scheduled and charter cargo flights.

Besides scheduled operations, the airline also offers charter flights across its network, serving Thailand, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Singapore.
