Thai AirAsiaX to launch two Thailand-Australia routes

Low-fare carrier, Thai AirAsiaX, has launched two routes from Thailand to Australia in December. The routes, which go from Bangkok to Melbourne and Sydney, will start on the 1st and 2nd December, respectively.

An Airbus A330 will serve both routes, and tickets are already on sale.

Melbourne Airport Chief of Aviation Jim Parashos commented on the new routes: “We are thrilled to welcome Thai AirAsia X to the Melbourne Airport family. Thailand is a favourite destination of Australians, and we expect these new direct services will be popular, particularly among leisure travellers keen to get back to Southeast Asia to experience the country’s incredible food, beaches and culture.”

Acting CEO of Thai AirAsia X said: “Thailand and Australia have maintained strong relations for over 70 years, and Australia is among the top three educational destinations for Thai students as well as a leading travel destination for Thai tourists.”
