(22 June 2022, 11:13 +07)  Thai AirAsia (flight code FD) has launched its first international flight from Suvarnabhumi Airport, becoming the only low-cost airline to fly direct from Suvarnabhumi (BKK) – Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Malaysia.

The airline will operate the route with up to two flights per day.

Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya, CEO of AirAsia Thailand said,“Suvarnabhumi Airport is an excellent hub both for passengers and the airline. AirAsia currently operates three routes from the airport, flying to Chiang Mai, Phuket and Krabi. Starting in June, AirAsia is, for the first time, flying internationally from the base with Suvarnabhumi-Kuala Lumpur, taking passengers to the Malaysian capital, which is an important economic hub that offers both business and leisure.

“Adding international routes from Suvarnabhumi Airport provides greater choice and convenience to our guests and is part of AirAsia Thailand’s strategy for discovering new opportunities now that tourism is reviving. Travelers will be able to connect domestically in Thailand with AirAsia’s flights to Phuket, Chiang Mai and Krabi, so Malaysian and other international arrivals will be well served. We plan to introduce more international routes from Suvarnabhumi to build a comprehensive network in the future.”
