Bangok: Thai AirAsia will inaugurate a daily flight service connecting Thailand’s Bangkok (Don Mueang Airport) to Kochi, in India, starting 16 May.
The airline CEO, Tassapon Bijleveld, said the intent was to serve, not only major tourist cities, but also economically important destinations such as industrial hubs and port towns.
“The new service ensures Thai AirAsia is the first Thai airline to operate a direct flight to Kochi, adding to its list of Indian destinations, which includes Chennai and Bangalore.”
He said: “The AirAsia brand is already recognisable in India following the success of our Chennai and Bangalore routes, which both saw load factors of 84% in 2015… on the new route, we expect to achieve load factors over 85% within the first three months as well as further growth in the future.”
Kochi is both an important port city and industrial hub for India, and has maintained an economic growth rate of 8.3% per year, making it a rapidly developing economic city.
