Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) near Taipei in January 2023.
The airline will operate the Don Mueang-Taipei

between Chiang Mai (CNX) in northern Thailand and Taipei on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays. The airline launched the CNX-TPE route on

“Since AirAsia introduced the
Chiang Mai-Taipei route, we have received a constant stream of
requests to add Bangkok-Taipei as the capital of Taiwan is an
attractive tourism destination with an array of dining, shopping
and sights, including many Michelin awarded restaurants at
reasonable prices. With travellers able to visit Taipei without
the need for a visa or quarantine, it has quickly become a top
destination of choice,” said Santisuk Klongchaiya, Chief Executive
Officer of AirAsia Thailand. “AirAsia is ready to serve Don Mueang-Taipei with
convenient morning direct flights rather than overnight
departures. Most importantly, passengers will be flying with an
airline that prioritises on-time performance, great value and that
has won ‘World’s Best Low Cost Airline’ from Skytrax for 13 years
in a row. We are confident Don Mueang-Taipei will be an attractive
choice for tourists.”
Thai AirAsia opened BKK-TPE ticket sales on Monday, 19
