As of 1st July, Thai AirAsia is operating daily flights between Bangkok and Vientiane in Laos. The inaugural flight took off from Don Muang International Airport this Friday and landed at Wattay International Airport same day.

Thai AirAsia Chief Executive Officer Mr Bijleveld said at the press conference during the event:

He added:
We are confident that both Lao and Thai nationals will see that this route offers great travel opportunities by saving them both time and money. WE plan to actively promote this route to both Thai and foreign travellers so that they can come to Vientiane to support its business sector. We are proud to be able to contribute to enhancing Laos’ economy while also building on ties between Thailand and Laos.
Bijleveld also said that the new route will help build on the already strong relationship between the two countries and offer more opportunities for Thailand and Laos to strengthen their ties.
He said that each year, 15 to 20 per cent more people use AirAsia’s services, many of which come from the ASEAN countries.
