AirAsia Aiming to Resume All Domestic Routes in Thailand by April

Spurred on by the relaxation of travel measures that have led to increasing demand, Thai AirAsia is aiming to reinstate all of its flight routes from Bangkok this March, followed by the resumption of all its domestic flights across Thailand by April.

AirAsia Thailand Chief Executive Officer, Santisuk Klongchaiya, said, "We are very pleased with the close cooperation shown by all parties and the improving situation in major tourism cities such as Chiang Mai, Nan, Nakhon Panom, Udon Thani, Krabi and Phuket, which have lifted their 14-day quarantine requirement. The positive sign, coupled with growing confidence in travel among the public has prompted Thai AirAsia to begin reintroducing flights."

The second wave of COVID19 infections in Thailand led to the airline streamlining its operations as travel ground to a halt.

“However, with the improving situation and the roll out of vaccines, we are confident of returning to full-scale service soon, closely adhering to health protocols and requirements for our staff and guests,” Mr. Santisuk said. “We will continue to work closely with the Tourism Authority of Thailand and members of the travel industry to offer promotions whenever travel restrictions are lifted. With the long Songkran holiday coming up in April, we look forward to resuming service on all our domestic routes to provide more opportunities for the tourism sector as a whole.”

AirAsia advises customers to carefully review the conditions for travel set by each province and travellers should be aware that they need to wear a face mask throughout their journey and strictly adhere to all public health requirements.
