Lauda Air suspends Bali flights

BANGKOK: Austria's Lauda Air said Tuesday it has suspended its
weekly flight from Bangkok to Bali in the wake of the devastating
bomb attack on the resort island last month which killed more
than 190 people.

A spokeswoman at the airline's office here said the Monday
Bangkok-Bali flights were suspended indefinitely.

Lauda's country manager Watanyu Sirichanya reportedly said the
carrier scrapped the route due to numerous cancellations in the
wake of the terrorist attack on the Indonesian island.

"Because there were too many cancellations the airline has
decided to suspend the service," she told the Nation newspaper.

Watanyu said Lauda would increase flights between Vienna and
Thailand from six to eight per week, including twice weekly to
the resort island of Phuket, to meet rising demand during the
peak year-end season, the daily reported. -- AFP
