Air Siam was an airline based in Thailand which operated from 1965 until 1976.

History

The airline was established as Varan Air-Siam on 15 September 1965 by Prince Varanand, who was the major shareholder at the time.[1] Operations started in 1970 using Douglas DC-4 equipment, initially flying the Bangkok−Hong Kong route as a freighter service.[1] Following an agreement with Overseas National Airways for the wet-lease of a Douglas DC-8-63 and operational assistance from Trans World Airlines,[2][3] scheduled passenger services started in Шаблон:Start date serving Bangkok, Honolulu, Tokyo and Los Angeles.[1] All these services were suspended in Шаблон:Start date; the Bangkok–Hong Kong sector was reactivated in Шаблон:MONTHNAME the same year with a leased BAC One-Eleven and extended to Tokyo seven months later, in Шаблон:Start date, operated with a Boeing 707.[1]

In Шаблон:Start date, the carrier placed an order for two Airbus A300s,[4] one A300B2 and one A300B4, taking an option for one more of the longer-range variant.[5] After taking delivery of the first of these aircraft on a lease basis from Airbus in Шаблон:Start date, Air Siam became the second operator worldwide in deploying the type on scheduled services, after Air France.[6]Шаблон:Rp Also in 1974, the company placed an order for a Douglas DC-10-30, to be used on the Bangkok–Los Angeles route.[7] Rights for the routes the airline intended to deploy the A300s on were never granted, and the A300B2 was returned to the lessor just a year after it was incorporated into the fleet.[8]

Before Air Siam started flying long-haul services, Thailand's flag carrier Thai International was the country's single long-haul operator.[9] Already in 1974, the airline had accused both Thai International and the Thai Civil Aeronautics Board for obstructing their expansion plans.[10] Despite various governments had considered the possibility of a merger, this never materialised.[9] A new government taking office in 1976 had a different vision and decided that Thailand should have just one long-haul carrier.[9]Шаблон:Rp
