The Thai flag carrier is working with the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and the Royal Thai Embassy in Tokyo to arrange the flights.

Over 340 Japanese executives are expected to take TG643 from Tokyo to Bangkok on 13 and 27 August 2020.

The airline will also use the flights to deliver cargo, such as agricultural products from both countries.
