"We see the opportunity to work together in the form of a code-share rather than looking at it as competition, because it will benefit both sides as a win-win and help travel, trade, investment, and tourism between Thailand and New Zealand connect more conveniently."
เราเห็นโอกาสที่จะทำงานร่วมกันในลักษณะ Code-share มากกว่าการมองเป็นการแข่งขัน เพราะจะเกิดประโยชน์ทั้ง 2 ฝ่าย เป็น Win-win และช่วยให้การเดินทาง การค้า การลงทุน และการท่องเที่ยวระหว่างไทยกับนิวซีแลนด์เชื่อมถึงกันได้สะดวกขึ้น
