New rules state that for four categories of economy class (including L,W and V designations) passengers will now only be able to take 20 kilos free of charge. 

Group tour customers will also face the same restrictions though that change in the rules will come later starting July 1, 2019.

The group saw a 3.9 per cent increase in total revenue to 199.5 billion baht, coming from different revenue sources including passenger and excess baggage revenue.
