Thai AirAsia inaugurates Bangkok-Chumphon route
Thai AirAsia began flying daily and direct from Bangkok to Chumphon yesterday (March 25), with state officials and representatives of the local private sector welcoming the inaugural flight’s high load factor of 91 per cent and passengers receiving a Bt50 discount on shuttles to and from Chumphon Airport.
Head of guest service Witchunee Kuntapeng said the Bangkok-Chumphon route has been well received. The high load factor was likely due to Chumphon being a much-awaited destination.
AirAsia is the airline with the most routes in the Thai South.
The Bt50 discount on shuttle rides between the airport and downtown allowed passengers to ride the regularly priced Bt150 shuttle for only Bt100.
The privilege can be accessed until May 31 at the Fame Tour counter at the airport or at the Fame Tour shop on Saladaeng Road in Muang Chumphon.
An island transfer to Koh Tao will be available for AirAsia passengers in April.
