Anyone heard of Crystal Thai Airlines before? It's a joint venture between some Thai and South Korean business people.

Apparently it started flying earlier this year. I can't get the website booking engine to work so I wonder how people are booking flights on it.
It says it is or will be flying Bangkok to Incheon, Clark, Bhutan, Dubai, Mumbai, Cochin and Colombo and Phuket to Incheon and Mumbai. Will be handy for visiting South Korea and Thailand in the same trip.

New Thai airline takes flight this month
Crystal Thai aims to become Thailand's third-largest carrier by offering flights to growing markets such as South Korea and India
7 January, 2011
A new Thai airline is set to launch operations later this month.
According to a report on global news website Aviationweek.com, Crystal Thai Airlines has received its air operatorтАЩs certificate and will begin flights on January 30 with a service from Bangkok to Seoul Incheon.
Other planned destinations listed on the airlineтАЩs not yet fully functional website are: Busan, South Korea; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Phuket, Thailand; Clark, Philippines; Bhutan; and Cochin and Mumbai in India.
Aviationweek.com says Crystal Thai will cater mostly to tourists, and its Airbus A320 -- to be used for the Seoul, Busan and Colombo flights -- is in an all-economy configuration, while its A330s, which it plans to lease in March, will have economy- and business-class seats.
The carrier says it aims to become ThailandтАЩs third-largest carrier, after Thai Airways and Bangkok Airways.
No word yet on pricing, though the airline promises to offer low fares with premium services.
