Dragonair has announced it will stop its Hong Kong-Bangkok service on September 27. The flight was launched in November 2003.

The airline's CEO, Mr Kenny Tang, said: "Hong Kong-Bangkok is a very busy, competitive route, and it has not been performing to expectations for some time. That is why we have taken the decision to cancel the service."

He said alternative arrangements would be made for customers booked on the airline's flights to Bangkok after September 27. "We will be ensuring passengers get to their destination with the minimum of inconvenience."
