AirAsia has unveiled plans to launch flights
between Chiang Mai (CNX) and Changi Airport (SIN) in Singapore.
The airline will operate the route with four
flights per week every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday,
starting 1 February 2023.
The latest route brings even more options to the
already popular city of Chiang Mai, where the increasing number of domestic and international routes
have been
well received.
Next month, Thai AirAsia’s fleet in Chiang Mai
will have grown to four aircraft, almost the same size as
pre-COVID19.
The base in the north of Thailand currently serves
eight domestic routes to Bangkok (Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi),
Phuket, Krabi, Hat Yai, Surat Thani, Khon Kaen and Hua Hin.
The airline currently operates four international routes from CNX to Hanoi and Danang,
Vietnam; Taipei, Taiwan; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and from February
2023, Singapore.
“As travel demand is increasing,
AirAsia is introducing a variety of new routes, focusing on
international journeys to help boost the economy. Our latest
addition, Chiang Mai-Singapore, will make AirAsia the provider of
convenient travel to Singapore as it will be flying Don Mueang-Singapore
thrice daily, Phuket-Singapore once a day and Chiang
Mai-Singapore four times per week,” said Santisuk Klongchaiya,
Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Thailand. “Singapore is a
complete tourism destination that has always been popular, with a
high average load factor throughout the year. The direct Chiang
Mai-Singapore route will give people of the north a convenient and
affordable way to reach Singapore while Singaporeans can easily
head to the unique city. The route will benefit the economies of
both locations.”
To celebrate the CNX-SIN route,
AirAsia has launched an “Endless Colors of Singapore” promotion
with fares starting from 3,390 THB per way. The special fare can
be booked through 4 December 2022 for travel from 1 February
2023 using the airasia Super App.
