Thai Airways International is Asia's largest airline in Europe, a position due of course to the attractiveness of Thailand as a destination, but also to Bangkok's positioning as a hub between Europe and the rest of South-East Asia. Thai Airways international's market share in terms of seat capacity between the European Union and Thailand is 62% of all air capacity in this sector. Thai Airways is far and away in the lead, followed by the Lufthansa group - Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Swiss and Eurowings - with just under 12% of total seat capacity. Eurowings has also just announced the opening of a new route between Munich and Bangkok, with two frequencies per week, which will be operated in addition to the Cologne-Bangkok route from April 2018. Air France/KLM is the third largest airline group on the Thailand/EU route, with 8.2% of all air capacity. The group could increase its capacity with the integration of JOON, which is expected to take over the Bangkok route.
