AirAsia kicks off Chiang Mai-Macau flight

AirAsia's inaugural flight, FD3462 takes off from Chiang Mai International Airport to Macau, making it the first and only airline to connect northern Thailand and China.



 To celebrate the new daily flights, AirAsia is offering a time-limited special promotional fare of Bt2,190, all-inclusive of taxes and fees per way.
 Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia, said “As the first and only airline connecting Chiang Mai to Macau, we can expect a significant number of incoming Chinese travelers to northern Thailand. Each year over 1 million Chinese visitors come to Thailand and Chiang Mai is among their top 3 destinations.   For northern Thailand residents, Macau is also a convenient gateway to Hong Kong which is only a ferry ride away. With our low fares and convenient connectivity, those flying from Chiang Mai can avoid the transit in Bangkok, fly directly to Macau, and easily enjoy Hong Kong all in one trip.”
