AirAsia to launch direct flights to Phnom Penh, Chiang Mai from KL
AirAsia is expanding its wings to two new international routes - Chiang Mai in Thailand and Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Daily services from Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Mai will start on Oct 20 and to Phnom Penh from Nov 1. In a Sept 27 statement AirAsia said 10,000 seats to each of the destinations would be offered at introductory fares as low as 599B to Chiang Mai and US$15 to Phnom Penh. “We are thrilled with our latest expansion to Indo-China. AirAsia would be the first and only airline to offer direct flights between Kuala Lumpur and Chiang Mai. “Thai AirAsia’s upcoming venture into Vietnam on Oct 17 via flights to Hanoi from Bangkok, signals that the AirAsia Group has all but covered most of the major cities in Southeast Asia,” said AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes.
