"We have to concentrate and focus more on the regional routes, which is our, I can say, weak point," Chai said.
"That's for the short term," Chai said, adding that the aircraft will be used on long-distance intercontinental routes to Australia and Europe that have seen a strong recovery since the pandemic.
