Thai AirAsia is all set to launch its direct flight service in the Tiruchi-Bangkok-Tiruchi sector. It will further increase overseas flight movement from and to Tiruchi airport.

The new service will start from Tiruchi on September 29, Santisuk Klongchaiya, Director of Commercial, Thai AirAsia, said here on Wednesday.

The flight service from Tiruchi to Bangkok (Don Mueang International Airport) offers a multitude of trade, investment and travel opportunities as Tiruchi was not only home to many interesting tourism attractions but also a destination rich in tradition, culture and history, he said.

The airline would enable travellers to fly to other domestic destinations in Thailand including Phuket, Krabi and Chiang Mai as well as to other international destinations such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City and Macau.

Promotional fare
Mr. Santisuk said the airline would offer promotional fare of Rs. 3,399 a trip for those booking tickets between July 31 and August 13, 2017 for travel from September 29, 2017 to August 28, 2018.
To a query, he said based on response the airline would explore the possibility of operating flights on all seven days in a week. Thai AirAsia is operating direct flights to Thailand from Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Kochi.

Soraya Homchuen, Director, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Mumbai said Thailand had received 1.19 million tourists from India during 2016.

The biggest chunk of tourists was from Tamil Nadu because of direct flight connectivity to Bangkok from Chennai. Ms. Soraya said Thailand and India had a long relationship adding that Thai cities had proven popular destinations for Indians.
