Thai AirAsia has unveiled plans to launch flights from Don Mueang (DMK) Airport in Bangkok to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, as well as to the city of Lucknow in northern India.
The airline will operate four flights per week to Dhaka commencing 24 November, and thrice weekly to Lucknow from 4 December 2022.
Promotional fares for the Don Mueang-Dhaka flights start from 3,590 THB per trip for AirAsia members, while the Don Mueang-Lucknow flights are available from 3,290 THB per trip. The special fares can be booked up to 16 October 2022 for travel between Don Mueang-Dhaka from 24 November 2022 and 25 March 2023, and Don Mueang-Lucknow from 4 December 2022 to 25 March 2022, via the airasia Super App.
“The travel appetite has improved since COVID19 restrictions were relaxed. The South Asian markets have grown rapidly in the recent period and AirAsia now operates six routes to the region, flying Don Mueang to Kolkata, Kochi, Jaipur, Bangalore and Chennai in India and to Maldives. All of the routes have been well received, especially by Indian travelers who have been connecting across Thailand.
Data from the Tourism Authority of Thailand show the fast growing number of tourists from India and South Asia have so far visited Thailand this year and the inflow is expected to continue into 2023,” said Santisuk Klongchaiya, Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Thailand. “Dhaka and Lucknow are new and exciting destinations AirAsia will be flying direct to for the first time with these additions. On top of attracting tourists to Thailand, the unique and magnificent architecture of these two cities should make them another popular aspiration for avid Thai travelers looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
