Thai AirAsia X will launch six weekly nonstop flights between Sydney and Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport starting December 2, 2024. Fares to Bangkok are now available for booking from AUD $333.
On Tuesday (August 20, 2024), Thai AirAsia X announced the launch of new direct service between Sydney (SYD) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK) in Bangkok, Thailand. The route will operate six times weekly from December 2, 2024, with one-way fares to Bangkok from AUD $333. Inbound customers to Bangkok will also enjoy seamless one-stop connectivity to other destinations such as Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Krabi (Thailand), Da Nang (Vietnam), and Chennai, Bangalore or Ahmedabad.
In Tuesday’s announcement, Thai AirAsia X’s CEO, Mr. Tassapon Bijleveld, said,
“Thai AirAsia X is returning to Sydney with a better network, schedule and enhanced connectivity spanning over 50 Aussie favourite destinations in Thailand and beyond to meet strong demand.
“At the same time, we are increasing the number of flights between both destinations to fly six times weekly every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday (2 flights), and Saturday. Arriving at Don Mueang Airport (DMK) makes the route even more convenient, placing passengers just 30 minutes from central Bangkok via public transport options such as the sky train (Red Line), airport bus, and taxi cabs. Outbound travellers with connecting services will also save time at the airport by being able to quickly pass from check-in through immigration to their gate at the same airport with no need to change airport terminals like before.
“Thai AirAsia X operating out of Don Mueang Airport enables travellers to connect to many more Thai AirAsia destinations throughout Thailand and internationally, in particular, the Indian market that is in high demand. Passengers can choose Fly Thru service at Don Mueang Airport to pass through immigration and receive their luggage at their terminal destination, allowing for even further journeys.”
Currently, Thai AirAsia X operates a fleet of eight Airbus A330 aircraft, with plans to expand the fleet to 11 by the end of 2024. For the future, the carrier also plans on acquiring 3-5 more aircraft each year in line with their growth plans and increasing demand. Presently, Thai Airasia X flies from Bangkok to seven core destinations, including Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo and Nagoya (Japan), Seoul (South Korea), Shanghai (China), and Sydney (Australia). The carrier also connects to AirAsia Group’s network with seven airlines offering over 150 destinations via hubs in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta and Manilla.
