NewGen Airways' B737-800 at Don Mueang airport: The kingdom's largest charter operator is establishing new connections from U-tapao airport in Rayong. NewGen Airways launched its maiden service yesterday out of U-tapao airport, which the airline has adopted as its new local base. The flight kicked off the scheduled charter service, at four flights a week, to Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan province in central China. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for NewGen to bring Chinese passengers directly to Pattaya, one of their top destinations in Thailand, chief executive Jarurnpong Sornprasit told the Bangkok Post. NewGen aims to add the second and third Chinese routes out of U-tapao when the airline receives two additional Boeing 737-800 jets in July.
