Etihad Airways - HD Interview - Part 1 of 2

Part 1 of 2. On 13 October 2010, ASIA Travel Tips.com interviewed Mr. Craig Thomas, the Thailand and Mekong Region Manager of Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways. In this interesting HD video interview we discuss the airline's operations in the region and what plans it has for the future. Some of the issues that are discussed include weight restrictions, online check-in, check-in kiosks, routes - both within the Thai / Mekong region and intra-regionally in Asia Pacific, the political turmoil in Thailand and the impact those problems have had on Etihad's operations, the airline's policy with regards to charging for preferred seats such as exit seats, Abu Dhabi stop over restrictions / charges, sport sponsorship such as the one Etihad has with Manchester City Football Club and much, much more.

Etihad Airways first launched flights from Abu Dhabi, in the UAE, to Bangkok, Thailand, in April 2004. In June 2006, the airline increased capacity and boosted the popular service to a double-daily operation. With one of its major competitors increasing their service to a thrice-daily service from 1 November 2010, how long will it be before Etihad Airways follows suit?
