Nok Air Cancels Khon Kaen and Trang Scheduled Services
23rd Feb 2016
Nok Air will continue to offload some of its scheduled domestic services as authorities in the provinces of Khon Kaen and Trang are saying that tourism is taking a hit over there.
Director of Khon Kaen Airport Atthyaya Larpmark said on Tuesday that Nok Air decided to cancel one round trip per day between Khon Kaen and Bangkok from 23rd February to 28th February, 2016.
Usually, Nok Air operates three round trips between Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport and Khon Kaen thrice daily. Of those trips, one is now cancelled and that would be flight DD9814 and the return flight DD9815.
Thai AirAsia and Thai Smile are, however, flying to the rescue of passengers who have booked a fare on the now cancelled Khon Kaen Nok Air flights.
Nok Air has already informed its passengers about the change in advance, so they should be able to find alternative arrangements.
Mr. Larpmark also said that the airline’s customers were asking for refunds for fares they purchased earlier at Khon Kaen Airport.
One Trang Round Service Also Canceled
When it comes to Trang, the southern Thailand province-bound service operated by Nok Air is also cancelled by the carrier between 23rd and 28th February this year.
Nok Air has also informed customers who have previously bought a ticket that out of three daily round trips, one is now cancelled and this means flights DD7406 and DD7407 are out of the schedule.
Governor of Trang province Detrat Simasiri said on Tuesday that Nok Air’s cancellations are affecting tourism in the province. As Mr. Simasiri points out, tourists are greatly inconvenienced and they now have to land at Hat Yai or Krabi airports and make their way to their desired destination from there.
In the peak of the holiday season in Trang, the Governor believes that another carrier, one that has earlier applied for a license to fly to the province, would help in the matter. However, they have to wait for the aviation authorities to issue them a license.
Director of the Trang office of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Karuna Dechartwong na Ayutthaya said Nok Air’s decision will affect tourism to Trang as the majority of visitors to the province are travelling by air.
