Amidst the Thai tourism recovery, airline veteran Patee Sarasin is setting up a new long-haul carrier with venture capital, starting with four wide-body aircraft and a goal of 70% foreign passengers.
Mr Patee, chief executive of Really Cool Airlines, said the carrier is in the process of obtaining an air operator certificate and air operating licence from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, with both expected to be issued in September to allow an inaugural flight in December.
