“From now to March is a peak season for travel in Thailand. Thai AirAsia is giving low airfares, the better to serve the travel needs of domestic and international passengers. Air travel no longer remains unaffordable, because now everyone can fly with Thai AirAsia,” said CEO Tassapon Bijleveld.
In a related development, ThaiAir Asia is acquiring its 11th aircraft about the middle of next month, enabling it to increase its flights to selected destinations and thereby enhance its services for both domestic and international passengers. Starting on December 15, Thai AirAsia flights from Bangkok will increase to five times daily to Phuket, three to Krabi, six to Hat Yai and six to Kuala Lumpur.
Next month’s aircraft acquisition is part of Thai AirAsia’s plan to expand its fleet of aircraft next year. Thai AirAsia, which expects to carry 6 million passengers this year, is aiming at 8 million passengers next year.
Thai AirAsia currently flies domestic routes to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hat Yai, Krabi, Narathiwat, Phuket, Surat Thani, Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani. International destinations include Phnom Penh, Macau, Xiamen, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Rangoon, Singapore and Hanoi.
