In a Nov 3 press release picked up in Koh Samui, the airline explained that the Oct 29 hike, its first in four years, was unavoidable.

Bangkok Airways has incurred higher labour and fuel costs every year for the last five years. The relocation this year of its operations from Don Muang to Suvarnabhumi airport also added to expenses, it said.
