AirAsia, The World’s Best Low-Cost Airline for 5 consecutive years according to Skytrax, is ready to launch its latest route; daily direct flights from Bangkok to Siem Reap, further enhancing its Indochina network and inviting all to experience the World Heritage Site of “Angkor Wat” with a promotional price starting from 79THB per way (not inclusive of airport taxes and fees).
Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia, said “this year, AirAsia is focusing on the Indochina market as it heads toward the formation of the ASEAN Economic Community, or AEC. We’ve been on the lookout for new routes and saw Siem Reap as a destination that would enhance our network. The city will be the sixth stop in Indochina for us once it begins on 1 October, 2013, following after Yangon, Mandalay, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Phnom Penh”.
“Indochina is AirAsia’s second largest market after China. We operate 70 flights a week in the region among our 250 weekly flights. Passenger numbers for the area rose 35% during the first and second quarters of this year compared to the same period the year before, the highest rate of growth. We believe it will continue to expand and plan to add even more destinations in the Indochina region this year.”
Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya, Director of Commercial for Thai AirAsia, pointed out that “Siem Reap is a dream destination. It’s the location of Angkor Wat, which is both a beautiful World Wonder and a World Heritage Site. On top of its historical value, art and entertainment enthusiasts can’t miss the Angkor Night Market and Pub Street, where they’ll find designer souvenir shops, art galleries, fine dining restaurants and hip bars. With our opening promotion, everyone can have a once in a lifetime experience at Siem Reap”.
