However in 1984, he founded the Sakahol Air which then took over the airline business first established under Krungthep Sakahol. Sakahol Air then changed its name to Bangkok Airways. On 20 January 1986, the airline operated its inaugural flight on the Bangkok – Nakhon Ratchasima, Bangkok – Surin and Bangkok – Krabi routes using its Bandeirante EMB-110 aircrafts. A couple of years later, the airline obtained its IATA Code “PG" and is allowed to operate new flight route to Koh Samui.
