LAOS'S first privately-owned airline said on Thursday it plans to enter the region's booming aviation market later this year.

Phongsavanh Airlines is aiming for a September takeoff with an initial service to Bangkok, said the carrier's external relations officer Viphasouk Saysanavongphet.

'But if not we will definitely begin our service before the end of this year,' he told AFP.

Flying from Vientiane, the airline is also lining up routes to Hanoi and Siem Riep, he said, putting it in direct competition with flag carrier Lao Airlines.

'We are aiming at serving the Asean region to begin with,' Mr Viphasouk said, referring to the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).


Phongsavanh is positioning itself as a 'premium low-cost airline', offering business and economy classes, he added. -- AFP
