According to Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia, AirAsia is ready to open new direct flights within Thailand as we are aiming to increase connectivity between routes with great tourism and investment potential. The Bangkok-Nakhon Phanom route, which will start flying on 15 February 2012, will certainly play a huge role in increasing connectivity between Thailand and Laos, in addition to the Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge between Nakhon Phanom and Khammouane. The new flights will add transportation options which will stimulate trade and investment between the two countries.
Nakhon Phanom is a culturally diverse city, and attractive tourist destination with huge cultural influences from Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Famous attractions include Wat Phra That Phanom, a famous religious site., added the CEO.
Meanwhile, Kathleen Tan, Regional Commercial Head of AirAsia says, As a truly Asean airline, we are committed to connecting more people throughout the region. We are sure that our guests will be as excited as us with the introduction of Semarang, a business-centric town with big tourism potential waiting to be tapped; and Surat Thani, the largest province of Southern Thailand and the gateway to paradise island Koh Samui.
Guests flying from Semarang and Surat Thani to Kuala Lumpur can take advantage of AirAsias massive route network where they will be able to connect to over 20 other countries, and over 160 destinations whether for business or leisure, added Kathleen Tan.
