AirAsia Thailand Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya said, “AirAsia’s resumption of international flights has been much awaited by both the airline and our guests. With Thailand reopening and travel restrictions being lifted, AirAsia will continue to re-introduce international service, starting from April 2022. In this regard, Malaysia and Thailand are countries with potential in terms of tourism and economy, and we believe that our flight resumption will bring opportunity and support to both countries’ economic recovery.
“We chose to resume routes to countries that share Thailand’s reopening policy so that our passengers can travel without having to be concerned over quarantining. The routes cover ASEAN and Southern Asia and we are working closely with the Tourism Authority of Thailand and relevant agencies to attract visitors to Thailand while maintaining the utmost screening and public health measures. With foreign travellers able to connect throughout the AirAsia domestic network, we will be helping to disperse revenue to all of both nations’ regions”
“Thailand is probably one of the most popular destinations for Malaysians. In the past, we have brought Malaysians to travel and explore new experiences. With this flight resumption, we hope to receive a warm welcome from Malaysian guests. Starting with the opening of routes that have already flown, namely Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru, which in the future, will be more expanded to facilitate the Malaysian guests.” Mr. Santisuk said.
In this regard, guests travelling from Thailand to various countries with flights operated by AirAsia will be able to travel without quarantine according to the travel requirements of each country, while those arriving in Thailand will be able to bypass quarantine with the Test&Go Scheme by registering for an electronic entry certificate, Thailand Pass, in advance.
