Great begining step for Laos Airliners to meet the level of the international. Laos oversea from north America don't have to stop in Thailand in the future.
This is a great plane, safe and reliable. I just came back from Laos for holiday and I flied Lao-airlines both ways from Bangkok to Vientiane and return.
That's very good news if it really happen. As Lao Nalks living in oversea, I really, really hate it when it's time to go & visit my cousin/relative in Lao via bkk. Not only we have to stay overnite in bkk, but also we have to spend some $$$$ on foods & other items. The $$ we spend in bkk, it helps their economy shoot up.
