NokScoot adds Shanghai route from Don Mueang
NokScoot, the joint venture low-cost carrier uniting Thailand’s Nok Air and Singapore’s Scoot, on Tuesday announced it would expand its growing route network in China with the launch of direct flights from Bangkok to Shanghai.
The inaugural flight takes off from Bangkok Don Mueang International Airport on February 25, followed by four flights a week, until March 4 when service goes daily.
As a leading medium-haul budget airline serving the region, NokScoot forecasts strong demand on the Shanghai route as it continues to grow its route network around China.
NokScoot currently flies to Nanjing, Qingdao, Shenyang, Tianjin and Xi’an in China.
NokScoot will use Boeing 777-200 wide-bodied twin-aisle jets, configured for 415 seats, on the Bangkok to Shanghai route. The aircraft is larger than those traditionally used by low-cost carriers with a corresponding increase in comfort, the airline said in a Tuesday press release. It will feature 24 seats in Scootbiz and 391 seats in economy.
To celebrate the new Shanghai flights, NokScoot is offering promotional one-way “Economy FLY” fares starting from Bt3,100 including tax and a fuel surcharge, from Bangkok to Shanghai for travel from February 25, 2019 to October 26, 2019. The promotion can be purchased on www.nokscoot.com during January 29-31, 2019. Terms and conditions apply.
