Thailand-based express cargo airline K-Mile Asia has launched a new service between Bangladesh’s Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport and Dhaka Airport. The new service will operate five weekly flights.
Introducing the new route aims to upgrade and expand K-Mile’s network. The Thai airline recently added two B737-800BCF aircraft to its fleet, boosting its capacity and range, while cutting 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.
