NewGen Airways, a Thai international airline operating flights from Thailand to China, will launch direct service between Pattaya’s U-Tapao airport and Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan province in central China.
U-Tapao is seen as a good alternative to Bangkok's busy Don Mueang airport, where the company is headquartered.
NewGen Airways plans to add the second and third Chinese routes from U-Tapao in July, aiming to lure more Chinese travelers.
