I don't think it's a good idea for the flights to ICN to have a stop in BKK. BKK-ICN is one one of the most competitive routes in Asia. 11 airlines, including Asiana, Korean Air, Thai and some other LCCs operate over 12 flights a day. UL will have do many things to attract passengers, such as having Korean speaking flight attenders on board and serving better food.

Thomson Airways is not a danish airline, so that can't be true...

It also shows Sydney and Melbourne as new destinations. Also Rome and Milan are gone. Is this what UL's future route map will actually look like?

According to this route map, NRT is operated via MLE, and DME is operated directly instead of flying via DXB.

Above Route Map must have been created in January 2012 when UL planned for S12 network changes like : nonstop flights to DME and PVG and cancellation of Italy (Source). However these plans were altered in the middle of February 2012. This route map shows UL is interested in providing a nonstop flight to HKG enroute ICN and resume flights to SYD & MEL.

From June 14th 2012 we are reducing frequency of flights between Bangkok and Colombo, due to realignment of our business plan. The revised schedule will only operate flights on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. There is no change to the scheduled time of these remaining flights.

Effective 17 December 2012 UL will increase CMB-DXB-DME from two to four weekly using an A320.

Thai AirAsia will reduce flights to Colombo from 14 June to shift capacity to routes that have higher traffic demand. Thai AirAsia CEO, Tassapon Bijleveld said: “We aim to add more flights to our popular routes that have high demand.” Currently, there are three airlines serving the Bangkok – Colombo route offering nonstop services – Thai Airways International (thrice weekly), Sri Lankan Airlines (twice daily / thrice daily from this July 12) and Cathay Pacific Airways (thrice weekly).
