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.
AirAsia now offers two choices for return flights
between Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. Don Mueang-Kuala Lumpur is
available daily, served by AirAsia Berhad (AK), and
Suvarnabhumi-Kuala Lumpur flies up to two times per day, served by
Thai AirAsia (FD).

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.”
