Thai AirAsia Launches Suvarnabhumi – Hat Yai Flights



(01/07/24)
 
Thai AirAsia today launched flights between
Suvarnabhumi airport near Bangkok and Hat Yai in the south of the
country.

Thai AirAsia flight FD4304 is scheduled to depart
Suvarnabhumi (BKK) at 10:45, arriving in Hat Yai (HDY) at 12:10.

From Hat Yai, flight FD4305 is slated to leave at
12:40 and arrive at Suvarnabhumi at 14:15.

The route makes AirAsia the only carrier to offer
two different options for flying between Bangkok and Hat Yai, as
the new daily BKK-HDY service is in addition to existing eight daily flights from Don Mueang
Airport (DMK).

Aside from its main hub at Don Mueang Airport,
Thai AirAsia flies from Suvarnabhumi to Kuala Lumpur and the
following four domestic
destinations in Thailand: Chiang Mai (CNX), Krabi (KBV), Phuket
(HKT) and now also Hat Yai (HDY).

“The demand for domestic travel has reached a
high with Thai AirAsia seeing load factor averages across all our
domestic routes up to 89 percent through the January – May 2024
period. Don Mueang to Hat Yai flights have maintained a load
factor average of up to 93 percent through the timeframe,
supported by state and Tourism Authority of Thailand promotion,
deals from airlines and an increase in international visitors
connecting to regional destinations,” said Khun Tansita Akraritpirom,
Head of Commercial for Thai AirAsia. “AirAsia has the largest market share and operates
the highest number of routes domestically. The introduction of
Suvarnabhumi – Hat Yai allows travelers to choose between two
airports and adds more convenient connection opportunities for
international arrivals to Suvarnabhumi Airport, and we hope this
will contribute to further growing the tourism industry.”

To celebrate the launch, AirAsia has launched a promotion
with one way flights from 990 THB all inclusive.
The special deal can be booked up to 12 July 2024 for travel up until 30 September 2024.
