Thai AirAsia has unveiled plans to launch five direct flights per week to Bengaluru in southern India. To celebrate the launch, AirAsia is offering a special fare of 1,490 THB per trip (including airport tax). The promotion is valid until July 5, 2015 for travel between September 1, 2015 and August 31, 2016.
Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO, Thai AirAsia said, “I am confident our Bangkok-Bengaluru direct flight will receive great interest as Bengaluru is one of south India’s most important cities. It is well known for its education and attracts many students, especially medical students. Its technological advancements also set it apart. Our new flight provides a great opportunity for both tourism and investment. We are also working with AirAsia India, which has an extensive domestic network in India; this will help Indian travellers looking to visit Thailand. In the past year, Indian travellers were among the top ten most frequent visitors to Thailand. Also for Thai tourists, they will be able to discover many Indian destinations with AirAsia India’s flights to Kochi, Goa, Pune, Jaipur, Chandigarh, New Delhi, and Visakhapatnam.”
