Thai AirAsia is all set to launch flights between Bangkok's Don Mueang International Airport and Mae Sot (MAQ) in Thailand's north western Tak Province. The airline plans to launch thrice weekly flights from March 2023.
Santisuk Klongchaiya, Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Thailand, said: “AirAsia is always looking to expand its domestic network to benefit the economy, tourism and trade. Mae Sot is an important and rapidly growing trade city as it is a bridge between Thailand and Myanmar. The recent expansion of the local airport’s runway has allowed AirAsia to now land directly in the town and we have received strong support from both the province and local private sector to serve this route with our on-time performance and world-class standards. We are sure this addition will provide a worthwhile choice to customers.”
The airline plans to operate its Airbus 320 with 180-seat configuration on this one-hour route.
