Fiumicino, 21 December 2015 - Aeroporti di Roma and Thai Airways communicate that the direct flight between the capitals of the respective countries will continue to be fly at its usual four scheduled times per week - Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday - for the next year.

"Thai confirms the importance of the Rome Fiumicino airport by investing in the route through the use of a new Boeing 777-200ER aircraft," explained the new general manager for Italy, Thamanoon Kuprasert.

The new plane has 30 business class seats and 262 seats in economy class, where the space between the rows of chairs is 34'' (over 86 cm), among the widest among all carriers.

ADR was very happy about the carrier's renewed recognition of the centrality of the airport of Rome Fiumicino, not only in the capacity as an entrance to the city of Rome and to the country, but especially as a hub for southern Europe.
