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.[3] Operations started in 1970 using Douglas DC-4 equipment, initially flying the Bangkok−Hong Kong route as a freighter service.[3] Following an agreement with Overseas National Airways for the wet-lease of a Douglas DC-8-63 and operational assistance from Trans World Airlines,[5][6] scheduled passenger services started in {{start date|1971|3}} serving Bangkok, Honolulu, Tokyo and Los Angeles.[3] All these services were suspended in {{start date|1972|1}}; the Bangkok–Hong Kong sector was reactivated in {{MONTHNAME|5}} the same year with a leased BAC One-Eleven and extended to Tokyo seven months later, in {{start date|1972|12}}, operated with a Boeing 707.[3]

In {{start date|1974|4}}, the carrier placed an order for two Airbus A300s,[9] one A300B2 and one A300B4, taking an option for one more of the longer-range variant.[10] After taking delivery of the first of these aircraft on a lease basis from Airbus in {{start date|1974|10}}, Air Siam became the second operator worldwide in deploying the type on scheduled services, after Air France.{{rp|590}} Also in 1974, the company placed an order for a Douglas DC-10-30, to be used on the Bangkok–Los Angeles route.[12] 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.[13]

Before Air Siam started flying long-haul services, Thailand's flag carrier Thai International was the country's single long-haul operator.[14] Already in 1974, the airline had accused both Thai International and the Thai Civil Aeronautics Board for obstructing their expansion plans.[15] Despite various governments had considered the possibility of a merger, this never materialised.[14] A new government taking office in 1976 had a different vision and decided that Thailand should have just one long-haul carrier.[14]{{rp|1564}}
