Did a thread a few weeks ago about this disaster of an airline, hopefully they will go bankrupt before crashing, I've seen their planes close up, these guys are flying garbage cans.

How does one pronounce the name "Phuket Airlines?"

That's the worst-looking 747 I've ever seen. I feel sorry for the poor plane and amazed that the thing can still fly. Good Boeing engineering there...

I hope it's pronounced Foo-kay, but I doubt it.

Co-Pilot; You gonna do a pre-flight check?
Pilot; Ah Phuket.

Didn't this used to be Virgin Airlines? So sad how they all droop given enough time.

Phukit? Land of sodomy, child prostitution, and adultery...sharks notwithstanding. Have you ever been there? Its a great place with fantastic beaches, great people, and great food. As for your description, that could fit any city in the world. As for sharks, I'm all for them, great to dive with.

OK everyone, I've posted on this subject before, and I've heard every 4th grade joke about the name of the airline and the island, it wasn't funny then, wasn't funny in 4th grade, and sure as hell won't get funnier with 50 more juvenile posts.
If you are interested in aviation and such, this thread is for you, if not, go play in the sandbox.

The airline joins others on the UK blacklist, including airlines from Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, Tajikistan, Sierra Leone, Congo, Mauritania and Swaziland. That's a pretty funny list.

The "H" is silent, just like it is when pronouncing "Thailand." The second syllable rhymes with "get." It is pronounced "poo-ket."
