Bangkok--1 Jun--Thai AirAsia
Airfares to remain low to allow guests to continue flying
The continuous rise of the cost of aviation fuel is forcing Thai AirAsia to increase the fuel surcharge for its international flights.
Starting June 1, fuel surcharge for one-way international travel will increase by 150 baht. Fuel surcharge to Singapore, Langkawi, Penang, Hanoi, Yangon and Phnom Penh will increase from 600 baht to 750 baht; to Kuala Lumpur to 615 baht; and to all destinations in China, which include Macau, Xiamen and Shenzhen, to 800 baht.
Fuel surcharge on domestic airfare will remain at 400 baht. Thai AirAsia flies within Thailand to Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hat Yai, Krabi, Narathiwat, Phuket, Surat Thani, Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani.
Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld, chief executive officer of Thai AirAsia, said, “We have received approval from the Department of Civil Aviation to increase the fuel surcharge. With all the charges, our fares remain the lowest in every destination we fly to.”
Thai AirAsia tickets may be purchased online at www.airasia.com , through its call centre at +662 515 9999, from AIS customer service counters and from ticket counters at selected Tesco Lotus branches.
Thai AirAsia is acquiring 40 brand new Airbus A320 aircraft, the first of which will be received in October 2007.
Thai AirAsia is the only low fare airline operating both international and domestic flights at Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
