The International Air Services Commission has just confirmed an application from Pacific Blue for capacity which would allow it to operate seven weekly flights between Australia and Phuket.
The application says Pacific Blue proposes to progressively introduce the services, operated by 180-seat B737-800 aircraft, with full utilisation of the capacity by 01 Apr 2010.
The IASC is inviting other applications for the capacity, with a closing date of 20 May 2009.
