AirAsia expands Thai network

BANGKOK Thai AirAsia will launch three new routes serving Nan, Loei and Roi Et from its Bangkok base at Don Mueang Airport starting 8 February next year.
The three new routes will have two daily flights each adding significantly to the airline’s northern coverage.
The airline CEO, Tassapon Bijleveld, said Thai domestic market still has potential to grow.
“The three new routes have strong potential. Nan gains popularity for its culture, Loei is home to exquisite natural resources and Roi Et is known for its spirituality, as can be seen in its large and intricate temples.”
He added that AirAsia has received support from Tourism Authority of Thailand and many other agencies to launch these three routes in the north and northeast.
“The routes will create new opportunities for travellers as well for investment. A morning and evening flight will help to facilitate business travellers.”
All AirAsia uses Airbus A320 planes with two more planes due to join the fleet in January.
