Thai AirAsia X (XJ) announced Thursday that it will move all of its flight operations to Don Mueang Airport (DMK) starting 1 October 2024. The relocation is part of the airline’s strategy to support Thailand’s ambitions to become a regional aviation hub and to improve connectivity for its passengers.
The move, facilitated by Airports of Thailand Plc. and the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, will see Thai AirAsia X flights to Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Shanghai, and Sydney shift from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Don Mueang Airport.
Tassapon Bijleveld, CEO of Thai AirAsia X, described the move as a “homecoming,” highlighting the benefits of joining the extensive AirAsia network.
“The return of Thai AirAsia X to Don Mueang Airport is a homecoming. We will be joining the strong and extensive AirAsia network, which has a domestic market share of over 40% in Thailand and a vibrant international network that encompasses Greater China, India and South Asia, Asean and Japan for a total 93 routes served by 1,250 flights a week to provide a wealth of opportunities for FlyThru services,” said Tassapon Bijleveld, Chief Executive Officer of Thai AirAsia X.
